Oral function is associated with the body and muscle mass indices of middle-aged dental patients.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesUndernutrition is associated with frailty, one of the common reasons for seeking long-term care. In older adults, nutritional status is known to be associated with oral function; however, it is not yet known if there is a similar association in middle-aged adults. The present study determined the association between nutritional status and oral function in middle-aged adults. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 117 outpatients aged 40-64 years who underwent dental check-up at a private dental clinic. Factors associated with oral function, including oral moisture, number of teeth present, oral diadochokinesis, tongue pressure, lip-seal strength, and masticatory performance, were evaluated. Body mass index (BMI), fat-free mass index (FFMI), and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) were analyzed as nutritional statuses. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between nutritional statuses and other variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed, with adjustment for age and sex, using BMI, FFMI, or SMI as response variables and oral moisture, maximum tongue pressure, lip-seal strength, oral diadochokinetic rate, and masticatory performance as explanatory variables.
resultsAll nutritional statuses showed significant correlation with maximum tongue pressure and lip-seal strength. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that BMI was associated with maximum tongue pressure and lip-seal strength, whereas FFMI and SMI showed significant association with sex, maximum tongue pressure, and lip-seal strength.
conclusionsIn middle-aged outpatients at a regional dental clinic, lip-seal strength and tongue pressure were positively associated with BMI, FFMI, and SMI.
