Hyperemesis gravidarum and the dental patient.
Review in British dental journal, 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
Introduction Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a severe debilitating form of pregnancy sickness that affects around 3% of pregnancies annually. The annual cost to the National Health Service of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy has been estimated to be up to £62 million. Whilst the general focus of national guidance remains on the systemic management of HG, there is little recognition in the literature of the effects of hyperemesis and the oral cavity.Clinical features The effects of prolonged vomiting can result in malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances and weight loss, in addition to the effects on the oral cavity including increased risk of caries, erosion, taste disturbances and xerostomia. Treatment options can include prescription of antiemetics, corticosteroids, enteral tube and parenteral feeding.Discussion Maintaining good oral health during an HG pregnancy can be extremely challenging. As dental professionals, it is important to have a holistic understanding of HG, to be able to appropriately support patients and staff members who may be suffering with HG both pre-, peri- and post-partum.Conclusion Hyperemesis gravidarum can be an isolating condition for pregnant people. It is essential that dental professionals are familiar with HG in order to adequately support staff members and patients who may be suffering.
