Case Report: Dental treatment under general anesthesia for a child with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 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
Background: Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) is a rare inherited myopathy caused by mutations in the COL6 gene and is frequently associated with multisystem complications affecting the respiratory and skeletal systems, which may increase airway and anesthetic risks during dental treatment. Case report: This report describes a 4-year-old girl with UCMD who presented with pain in the left lower molar. After a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation by the Department of Stomatology, Anesthesiology, and Pediatrics, the patient was classified as ASA III and underwent dental treatment under total intravenous anesthesia, with tracheal intubation performed under fiberoptic bronchoscopic guidance. The procedures included pulpotomy, tooth extraction, resin restoration, placement of preformed metal crowns, and topical fluoride application. The perioperative course was uneventful and no respiratory, airway, or anesthesia-related adverse events were observed. The patient was followed up continuously for 6 to 12 months after dental treatment. Conclusion: This report delineates the multidisciplinary perioperative management of comprehensive dental treatment in a 4-year-old patient with UCMD, thereby providing a clinical reference for oral healthcare in individuals with this rare disorder.
