Article in International journal of health sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07772115 (Digital Assessment of Occlusal Force Distribution and Chewing Cycles Before and After Periodontal Therapy in Patients With Stage III-IV Periodontitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectivesThe objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of periodontitis on masticatory cycle efficiency and maximum molar bite force.

methodsTwenty-four individuals were divided into two groups: With periodontitis (Group I; mean age ± standard deviation (SD), 51.3 ± 2.8 years;

resultsThere was a significant difference between the groups for the left masseter muscle when chewing raisins (

conclusionThe present study findings indicate that the loss of periodontal supporting structures had a negative impact on masticatory cycle efficiency and molar bite force. This finding suggested that dental mobility should be considered when determining clinical treatments aimed at improving masticatory efficiency and bite force in individuals with the periodontal disease.
