Risk Score to Predict Dental Caries in Adult Patients for Use in the Clinical Setting.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThere is a need for risk prediction tools in caries research. This investigation aimed to estimate and evaluate a risk score for prediction of dental caries. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis case-cohort study included a random sample of 177 cases (with dental caries) and 220 controls (randomly sampled from the study population at baseline), followed for 3 years. The risk ratio (RR) for each potential predictor was estimated using a logistic regression model. The level of significance was 5%.
resultsThe risk model for dental caries included the predictors: "presence of bacterial plaque/calculus" (RR = 4.1), "restorations with more than 5 years" (RR = 2.3), ">8 teeth restored" (RR = 2.0), "history/active periodontitis" (RR = 1.7) and "presence of systemic condition" (RR = 1.4). The risk model discrimination (95% confidence interval) was 0.78 (0.73; 0.82) (
conclusionsThe present study estimated a simple risk score for prediction of dental caries retrieved from a risk algorithm with good discrimination.
