Parkinson's disease impairs masticatory function.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate masticatory function in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) during levodopa "on" period using new removable dental prosthesis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 34 elderly individuals with PD (n = 17, mean age = 69.41 ± 4.65 years) or without PD (n = 17, mean age = 70.71 ± 4.65 years) were recruited for this study. Participants received new complete dentures and/or removable partial dentures. Two months after the subjects were free of any prostheses discomfort, masticatory function was assessed. A kinesiographic device was used to measure the range of jaw motion and jaw movements while chewing a silicone test material (Optocal). Masticatory performance was determined by median particle size (X
resultsThe PD group showed a decreased range of jaw motion, longer duration and slower velocity of the masticatory cycle (P < 0.05), higher X
conclusionPD patients have impaired masticatory function during levodopa "on" periods compared to controls. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Knowledge that PD is associated with impaired masticatory function is important to dental professionals in decision making related to prosthetics and general dental treatment.
