Masticatory Force in Relation with Age in Subjects with Full Permanent Dentition: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
Masticatory performance is directly correlated with masticatory muscle work to grind and cut the food. Chewing efficacy is decisive to eating a variety of foods needed maintain general health status at all ages. Older people have oral problems that get worse with age. Elders have more pathologies such as periodontal diseases, caries, tooth loss and inadequate dental prostheses than younger subjects.
objectivesto investigate the correlation between masticatory bite force (MBF) and body mass index (BMI) vs. aging and sex.
methodsThis study was performed on 426 subjects (213 females plus 213 male) assigned into five different groups by age. Group "A" aged from 20 to 35 years; group "B" aged 45-59 years; group "C" aged 60-69 years; group "D" aged 70-79 years; and group "E" aged more than 79 years.
resultsThere were not statistically significant differences in right-side MBF versus left-side MBF. The differences between sex were statistically significant with a stronger bite in males than females (
conclusionThe results in our study confirm data from many scientific papers. The importance of the present paper was to correlate data between and within a large sample with a wide range of ages. Our sample subjects had a 31%-33% decrease in MBF from group "A" to group "E" group, but they all had full permanent dentation and they preserved a valid MBF.
