Antibiotics in dental practice: Global implications, clinical realities and the path towards stewardship.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Antibiotics play a crucial role in managing odontogenic infections, but inappropriate prescribing within dental practice still contributes to growing antimicrobial resistance. This review describes current U.S. recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). Research supports using narrow-spectrum antibiotics for short treatment periods, while prophylactic use is now mainly reserved for patients with certain cardiac or immunocompromising conditions. Ongoing over prescription is often linked to uncertainty in diagnosis, patient pressure and limited stewardship systems. Thus, the need for more practical strategies like expanding education, clinical decision tools and interprofessional collaboration to strengthen antibiotic stewardship.
