Caregiver-reported dementia as a predictor of oral health among patients receiving home-visit dental treatment: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveTo assess caregiver-reported dementia as a risk factor for retained roots, an indicator of poor oral hygiene, among patients receiving home-visit dental treatment in Japan.
methodsThe medical records of 231 dentate patients who received home-visit dental treatment (covered by public medical insurance) for more than 2 years were retrospectively analyzed. The number of teeth and retained roots at the initial and final examinations were obtained from the dental charts, and the "change in the number of retained roots from initial to final examination" was determined. The presence or absence of caregiver-reported dementia, diabetes, and osteoporosis, as well as the level of long-term care needed, were used as indicators of general health condition at the initial interview. Multiple regression analyses were conducted in five models that tested the association of independent variables (age, gender, observation period, general health, presence or absence of caregiver-reported dementia at the initial interview) with changes in the number of retained roots.
resultsIn all models, the presence of caregiver-reported dementia at the initial interview was significantly associated with the change in the number of retained roots (p < .05). The adjusted coefficient of determination (R
conclusionsCaregiver-reported dementia may be a risk factor for an increase in the number of retained roots among patients who receive home-visit dental treatment and may serve as an indicator of the need for regular and proactive oral hygiene management.
