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

Background: Oral infections exhibit variability in their causative agents and clinical presentations, underscoring the necessity of accurate diagnosis for effective management. Despite extensive documentation globally, data on these infections from Brazil remain scarce. This study aimed to assess the occurrence, clinical features, and differential diagnosis of oral viral, fungal, and bacterial infections at a single center in southern Brazil. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted between 2010 and 2023. Clinicodemographic data, comorbidities, and routine medication use were analyzed descriptively and statistically. Results: A total of 462 cases were included. The median age was 49.5 years (range: 2-100). Viral infections were the most frequent (65.8%), with squamous papilloma accounting for 49.4% of cases. Fungal infections comprised 29.4% of cases, predominantly erythematous candidiasis (20.8%) and pseudomembranous candidiasis (5.6%). These infections were more common in women, older adults ( Conclusions: Data from our series on oral viral, fungal, and bacterial infections align with the literature. The results emphasize the importance of tailored diagnostic approaches, particularly for at-risk patient populations.
