Factors Associated with Dental Service Use Based on the Andersen Model: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 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
backgroundA systematic review synthesizing studies examining the determinants of dental service use drawing on the (extended) Andersen model is lacking. Hence, our purpose was to fill this knowledge gap; Methods: Three established electronic databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, as well as CINAHL) were searched. Observational studies focusing on the determinants of dental service use drawing on the Andersen model were included; Results: In sum, 41 studies have been included (ten studies investigating children/adolescents and 31 studies investigating adults). Among children, particularly higher age (predisposing characteristic), higher income (enabling resource) and more oral health problems (need factor) were associated with increased dental service use. Among adults, findings are, in general, less consistent. However, it should be noted that one half of the studies found an association between increased education (predisposing characteristic) and increased dental service. In general, study quality was rather high. However, it should be noted that most studies did not report how they dealt with missing data; Conclusions: Our systematic review revealed that all components (i.e., predisposing characteristics, enabling resources and need factors) of the Andersen model tend to be associated with dental service use among children, whereas the findings are more mixed among adults. In conclusion, beyond need factors, dental service use also tend to be driven by other factors. This may indicate over-or, more likely-underuse of dental services and could enrich the inequality discussion in dental services research.
