1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesto map scientific evidence on oral manifestations originating during long COVID.

methodsthis is a scoping review based on the method described by JBI. Primary articles published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish between March 2020 and December 2024 were included from the PubMed, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases, and a descriptive analysis was performed.

resultsof the 15 studies analyzed, the most frequent oral manifestations of long COVID were taste alterations, xerostomia, difficulty chewing, gingival bleeding, periodontitis, and changes in the teeth.

conclusionsan association between long COVID and various oral manifestations was evidenced, impacting the quality of life of patients. Factors such as age, comorbidities, and social inequalities influence the persistence of these manifestations, with a higher prevalence in women. Multiprofessional collaboration and clearer guidelines are essential to improve dental care.
