U.S. state correlations between oral health metrics and Alzheimer's disease mortality, prevalence and subjective cognitive decline prevalence.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Given the association between periodontal disease (PdD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), we examined correlations between states' age-adjusted AD mortality rates, AD prevalence, subjective cognitive decline (SCD) prevalence, and oral health data. Data sources include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, scientific literature, and oral health rankings formulated by WalletHub.com and Toothbrush.org. Pearson (r) or Spearman (r
