Time trends in the prevalence of diagnosed sialolithiasis from Taiwanese nationwide health insurance dental dataset.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
background/purposeSialolithiasis, the so-called salivary gland stone, is a condition forming salivary calculi within a salivary gland or ducts. Little is known about the epidemiological survey of sialolithiasis in Taiwanese population. In this study, we conducted an age-period-cohort (APC) analysis evaluating the prevalence of sialolithiasis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study was conducted to analyze the registered database compiled by the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Research Database from 1996 to 2013. The APC analysis was performed to investigate the effects of age, diagnosis period, and birth cohort with sialolithiasis.
resultsWe found that the prevalence of sialolithiasis varied from 1.4 (10
conclusionForm this nationwide population-based database, the prevalence of sialolithiasis occurs more frequently in male than in female. In addition, the relative risk for sialolithiasis demonstrated the significant APC effects.
