Oral health-related quality of life is associated with physical frailty: A cross-sectional study of Japanese community-dwelling older adults.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPhysical frailty is related to adverse outcomes, and poor oral health has been linked to malnourishment. Subjective measures of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) have been used as indicators of the oral health problems of older adults, and they have been associated with malnourishment. This study aimed to assess OHRQoL's association with physical frailty.
methodsCross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Nagasaki Islands Study that enrolled participants aged ≥60 years at Japanese national medical check-ups from 2014 to 2019. Physical frailty phenotype criteria were determined using the modified Fried frailty phenotype model. OHRQoL was assessed using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). Dentists conducted clinical dental examinations. Simple correlation and linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the associations of number of physical frailty phenotype criteria with GOHAI and other oral health indicators.
resultsAmong 1341 participants with a mean age of 72 years, GOHAI score was significantly associated with number of physical frailty phenotype criteria (
conclusionsOral health-related quality of life was associated with physical frailty in Japanese community-dwelling older adults.
