Combined effects of new complete denture fabrication and simplified dietary advice on nutrient intake in edentulous elderly patients for 6 months.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 aim was to evaluate the combined effects of a new complete denture fabrication and simple dietary advice (using unique pamphlets) by dentists on nutrient intake in edentulous elderly patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA randomized controlled trial was performed on edentulous elderly patients who were randomly allocated to either an intervention or a control group. The intervention group received a new complete denture and simple dietary advice, whereas the control group received a new complete denture and denture care advice. The outcomes of this trial (nutrient intakes) were calculated using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) and assessed at three time points (pretreatment and 3 and 6 months post-treatment).
resultsAt 3 months post-treatment, the intake of several nutrients such as proteins (p = 0.004), magnesium (p < 0.001), and vitamin B1 (p = 0.014) was significantly higher in the intervention group than the control group, whereas at 6 months post-treatment, plant protein (p = 0.028) intake was significantly higher in the intervention group than the control group. On the contrary, animal protein (p = 0.049) and vitamin B12 (p = 0.028) intakes were significantly higher in the control group.
conclusionsNew complete denture fabrication with simple dietary advice might improve nutrient intake in elderly edentulous patients; however, the effect is probably short term. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: New complete denture fabrication along with simple dietary advice by dentists might improve nutrient intake in edentulous elderly patients. Therefore, regular use of these interventions in the dental setting might have long-term effects on nutrient intake in elderly edentulous patients.
