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

backgroundThis retrospective study aimed in the evaluation of oral health and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients with oral dystonia (OD). MATERIAL AND

methodsSeventeen patients with OD (Meige Syndrome: n=11, Oromandibular Dystonia: n=6) were included, of which seven were examined again at three months after botulinum toxin injection. OHRQoL was assessed by the German short form of oral health impact profile (OHIP G14). Within oral examination, dental parameters, remaining teeth and periodontitis severity were assessed. A matched healthy control (HC) was composed for comparison.

resultsThe OD patients had significantly more carious teeth (0.94 ± 1.75 vs. 0; p<0.01), less remaining teeth (15.65 ± 9.89 vs. 22.22 ± 5.91; p=0.01) and higher dental treatment need than the HC (42.9% vs. 0%; p<0.01). The OHIP G14 sum score of 9.47± 9.82 vs. 1.58 ± 2.79 (p<0.01) as well its dimensions psychosocial impact (4.47 ± 6.45 vs. 0.53 ± 1.16; p=0.03) and oral function (4.35 ± 2.98 vs. 0.47 ± 1.34; p<0.01) were clinically relevant and statistically significant higher in OD compared to HC group. No significant differences could be detected at three months after botulinum toxin injection.

conclusionsPatients with OD suffer from more dental diseases and have a worse OHRQoL than HC. Dental special care appears recommendable and should be fostered by everyone, who is involved in the treatment of patients with OD.
