Poor Oral Health in Patients with Schizophrenia: a Meta-Analysis of Case-Control Studies.

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
Patients with schizophrenia have high rates of comorbid physical illness, but there has been less attention to dental diseases in these patients. This meta-analysis of case-control studies systematically examined the oral health in patients with schizophrenia. Case-control studies comparing the oral health in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls were screened and identified. Standardized mean difference (SMD) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using RevMan version 5.3. Three case-control studies comprising 306 patients with schizophrenia and 306 healthy controls were included in this meta-analysis. All studies were rated as "high quality". Patients with schizophrenia had significantly higher scores of decayed, missing and filled teeth (SMD = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.57, 1.09, p < 0.001; I
