Impact of Early Childhood Caries on Oral Health-related Quality of Life Among 4-6-year-old Children Attending Delhi Schools: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionOral diseases like early childhood caries (ECC), trauma, teething pain, and eruption disturbances are widely prevalent among the 4-6-year subgroup of population and are considered a public health problem worldwide.
aimTo assess the impact of ECC on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among 4-6-year-old children attending schools in Delhi. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out to assess the impact of ECC on OHRQoL among 4-6-year old children. Data were collected by a combination of the structured questionnaire of sociodemographic details and early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS). The clinical examination was conducted for the assessment of dentition status and pufa index according to WHO criteria 2013. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Mann-Whitney
