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

The rising number of new cancer cases means that dentists are increasingly treating patients undergoing cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. Certain chemotherapy drugs can cause side effects in the oral cavity, which may significantly impair patients' quality of life. Indeed, chemotherapy can have oral and dental repercussions with varied clinical manifestations. Their frequency and severity may depend on the treatment protocols used, the duration of treatment, any combination with radiation therapy, and the condition of the oral cavity before the start of treatment. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the current evidence and international recommendations regarding the prevention and management of oral complications associated with chemotherapy, with a particular focus on conservative dentistry and endodontic treatment before, during, and after chemotherapy. Dentists therefore play a vital role in the multidisciplinary management of these patients. A thorough understanding of the risks associated with chemotherapy enables the implementation of preventive measures and appropriate conservative and endodontic treatment before, during, and after anticancer therapy, thereby reducing oral complications and improving patients' quality of life.
