Impact of detection criteria on coronal and root caries estimates in adults with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo compare caries prevalence and extent in adults with or without diabetes mellitus (DM) according to different caries detection criteria (WHO, ICDAS, and Nyvad). MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out including 122 individuals, 44 without DM and 78 with type 2 DM. Trained and calibrated examiners performed a visual-tactile inspection to record coronal and root caries lesions (weighted kappa > 0.7). Caries prevalence and extent were calculated according to the WHO (only cavitated lesions, missing and filled surfaces), ICDAS (all non-cavitated and cavitated lesions, missing and filled surfaces), and Nyvad (only active lesions, non-cavitated and cavitated). For root caries, lesions were classified as active or inactive.
resultsA significantly higher overall caries experience (DMF-S) was observed among patients with DM when the WHO (RR = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.09-1.71) and the ICDAS (RR = 1.32; 95% CI = 1.07-1.62) criteria were adopted. No difference between groups was found when the Nyvad criterion was used, although a low study power was observed in this comparison. Estimates for root caries showed a higher prevalence (PR = 2.65; 95% CI = 1.05-6.70) and risk (RR = 6.02, 95% CI = 1.81-20.00) of total D-S among diabetic patients.
conclusionsDM can predispose individuals to a higher number of root caries lesions, independently of their past caries experience. Missing teeth can overestimate caries extent in individuals with DM. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Individuals with DM should be monitored for the prevention and control of root caries. It is recommended to splitting missing teeth from the caries estimates in studies involving adults, particularly diabetic ones.
