1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo evaluate the impact of anterior occlusal conditions in the mixed dentition on item-level analysis of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). MATERIALS AND

methodsA population-based cross-sectional study of 787 children aged 8 to 10 years was conducted. The Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ8-10) was used to evaluate OHRQoL, and the analysis of item levels was performed on CPQ8-10 domains. Anterior occlusal characteristics were diagnosed according to the Dental Aesthetic Index criteria. Individual analyses were performed relating the outcome as independent variables. The variables with P < .20 in the individual analyses were tested in multiple logistic regression models, and those with P < .10 remained in the model. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) was estimated with a 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsNo associations were found with regard to anterior occlusal characteristics (P < .001) after the variables of the previous determinants were adjusted for multivariate analysis. However, the following variables were significantly associated with negative impact on OHRQoL item levels: sex, in oral symptoms (OR = 1.42; CI, 1.07-1.89) and emotional well-being (OR = 1.34; CI, 1.00-1.79); race, in oral symptoms (OR = 1.48; CI, 1.10-1.98), emotional well-being (OR = 1.54; CI, 1.14-2.06), and social well-being (OR = 1.34; CI, 1.00-1.80); and family income in functional limitation (OR = 1.46; CI, 1.06-2.02), emotional well-being (OR = 1.71; CI, 1.21-2.42), and social well-being (OR = 1.59; CI, 1.14-2.21).

conclusionsAnterior occlusal conditions did not affect the levels of OHRQoL items.
