Association between numbers of decayed teeth and HbA1c in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Upsala journal of medical sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundDental caries (DC) are more prevalent in individuals with diabetes than in healthy individuals. However, the association between glycaemic control and DC has not been well characterized in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We therefore assessed the association between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) serum concentrations and the prevalence of DC in patients with T2DM.
methodsRetrospective analyses of data pertaining to 108 Japanese patients with T2DM hospitalized because of poor or worsened glycaemic control were included. We divided the patients based on HbA1c into two groups: HbA1c level ≥75 mmol/mol (9.0%) as poorly controlled T2DM, and HbA1c level <75 mmol/mol (9.0%) as a control group. We compared the association of lifestyle factors, dental caries, and periodontal health between patients with poorly controlled T2DM and controls. Stepwise multiple regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between HbA1c, the absolute number of decayed teeth (DT), the sum of decayed, missing, and filled teeth, and the Met Need Index (MNI).
resultsDT was higher and MNI was lower in patients with poorly controlled T2DM as compared to that in controls (P = 0.006 and P = 0.004, respectively). Multiple regression analyses revealed a significant association between HbA1c levels and DT (adjusted β = 0.039, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.005 to 0.072, P = 0.025) and the MNI (adjusted β = -0.216, 95% CI -0.374 to -0.058, P = 0.008).
conclusionsDT and MNI were associated with HbA1c in T2DM patients.
