[Dental treatment in old age-When and what is indicated?]
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the past few years the oral health of seniors has improved and more seniors retain their natural teeth until old age; however, the prevalence of oral diseases among seniors is still very high and a serious problem. Good oral health is, however, relevant for seniors as it influences the chewing function, the nutritional status and general satisfaction. In addition, diseases of the oral cavity show interactions with general health. The current article therefore provides an evidence-based overview of the oral health of seniors and highlights important relationships (nutritional status, oral health-related quality of life, general health). It also gives advice on when dental treatment may be indicated. Furthermore, instruments for assessing oral health, chewing function and oral health-related quality of life are presented and explained.
