Recent advances in oral cryotherapy for the management of anticancer therapy-induced oral mucositis.
Review in Future science OA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Oral mucositis (OM) is a prevalent complication of cancer therapy, frequently associated with oral pain, dysphagia, malnutrition, and systemic infections. OM that develops during cancer treatment can result in delays or interruptions in anti-cancer therapies, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. Oral cryotherapy (OC) involves the use of crushed ice, specialized cryotherapy devices, and other cooling methods to lower the temperature in the oral cavity during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, thereby reducing the incidence and severity of cancer treatment-related OM. This review aims to elucidate the role of OC in managing OM induced by anticancer therapy by summarizing the mechanisms, specific operational procedures, and potential adverse reactions associated with cryotherapy for OM. It also compares the efficacy of cryotherapy with other preventive and therapeutic approaches for OM, as well as their combined applications. While cryotherapy demonstrates effectiveness in preventing the incidence and severity of cancer treatment-related OM, it is not effective for OM that has already been formed because of previous treatments. Therefore, integrating cryotherapy with basic oral care, photobiomodulation therapy, pharmacological interventions, traditional Chinese medicine, and other modalities is essential for optimal prevention and management of cancer treatment-related OM.
