Risk factors associated with new caries lesions in permanent first molars in children: a 5-year historical cohort follow-up study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to analyze the factors associated with the occurrence of caries in the permanent teeth (PT) and in the permanent first molar (PFM) 5 years after their eruption. MATERIAL AND
methodsChildren born in 2005 and enrolled in a community dental program were included. The inclusion criteria were: age 10 years in 2015; the availability of clinical dental history (CDH) data from before eruption of the PT and a follow-up period of 5 years after eruption of the PT. A total of 206 children were enrolled. Risk factors evaluated were: caries experience in the mother, educational level of the mother, frequent drug use, systemic diseases, eating habits, brushing frequency, presence of molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in PT, and caries in deciduous teeth (DT). Associations between explanatory factors and the DMF-T (decayed, missing, filled teeth in PT) and DMFT-M (DMF in PFM) indexes, independently considering cavitated or cavitated and non-cavitated caries as outcomes, were evaluated by poisson regression with robust variance analysis.
resultsIn the multivariate analysis, a cariogenic diet, especially soft drinks, was associated to high DMF-T and DMFT-M scores when both cavitated and non-cavitated caries were considered. A brushing frequency < 1 a day was significantly associated to high DMF-T scores. The presence of df-t (decayed and filled temporary teeth) score > 0 and MIH conditioned high DMF-T or DMFT-M values, considering cavitated or cavitated and non-cavitated caries.
conclusionsThe intake of sweets and soft drinks, brushing frequency, caries in DT, and MIH in PT were the best predictors of caries in PT. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Control of risk factors in early childhood is important for preventing caries in PT.
