Risk factors associated with denture stomatitis in healthy subjects attending a dental school in southeast iran.
Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesThere is scant information regarding the multifactorial aetiology of denture stomatitis (DS) in the world and, despite its frequency, associated factors are not completely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors that may be associated with this lesion.
methodsA total of 70 edentulous patients, all wearing removable dentures, were divided into two groups. The test group comprised 43 patients with DS and the control group comprised 27 subjects with clinically healthy palatal mucosa. A thorough history-taking and physical examination were carried out; the subjects also answered a questionnaire. The serum level of vitamin A for each subject was assayed from a blood sample taken after the examination.
resultsTHIS STUDY SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INCIDENCE OF DS AND THREE MAJOR FACTORS: denture age (in terms of years), the practitioner manufacturing the dentures (general dental practitioner versus dental hygienist), and the night-long wearing of dentures. Also, the vitamin A serum level was low in 94.29% of all subjects (cases and controls).
conclusionAlthough many predisposing conditions were related to this situation, the most important risk factor was the continuous use of the dentures.
