Untreated dental caries and visible plaque of mothers are not determinant for the incidence of caries in dentin among children: evidence from a 3-year prospective cohort study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo evaluate whether characteristics related to mother's oral health, trajectory of family income, and maternal education are associated with the incidence of caries in dentin in preschool children. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred fifty-eight mothers and their children were evaluated at baseline and re-evaluated after 3 years. Sociodemographic variables, dental caries, and biofilm of the mothers and children and daily sugar intake of the children were evaluated. Poisson regression was used to evaluate what factor represents risk for the incidence of caries in dentin at four to 6 years of age.
resultsThe risk of the incidence of caries in dentin was 54% higher in children whose mothers had a low level of education at both baseline and follow-up. Children from families with an income lower at baseline and follow-up (RR 2.49; 95% CI 1.62-3.83) and those whose families experienced a reduction in income in this period (RR 2.05; 95% CI 1.29-3.26) had a greater risk of the incidence of caries in dentin. Moreover, children who increased their daily sugar intake (RR 1.67; 95% CI 1.09-2.52), those that maintained high sugar intake (RR 1.81; 95% CI 1.14-2.87), and those with cavitated caries at baseline (RR 1.53; 95% CI 1.19-1.97) had a greater risk of the incidence of caries in dentin.
conclusionsLow mother's education, a lower family income, a reduction in family income, a high frequency of daily sugar intake, and a history of cavitated caries were risk factors for the incidence of caries in dentin. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results could help in the targeting of improved prevention and control strategies for dental caries.
