Interventions to Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Induced Oral Mucositis: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Acta stomatologica Croatica, 2025. 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: Oral mucositis is a common adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, characterized by erythematous lesions, edema, ulceration, atrophy, or even hemorrhage. Current evidence highlights the complexity of its management and the importance of tailoring therapeutic approaches to the individual patient profile in order to improve quality of life during cancer treatment. Objectives: To access the efficacy of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy- and/or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis. Materials and Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis of 27 articles published between 2019 and 2024 was also performed, aiming to characterize and contextualize therapeutic interventions for oral mucositis. Results and Discussion: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that various non-pharmacological interventions (such as cryotherapy and photobiomodulation) and pharmacological interventions, particularly natural agents (such as honey, curcumin, green tea), are effective for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis. Conclusion: Oral mucositis is a highly prevalent adverse effect in patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, with significant functional, nutritional, and treatment adherence implications. The systematic review with meta-analysis demonstrated the efficacy of non-pharmacological and natural interventions.
