Analysis of the correlation between malocclusion, bad oral habits, and the caries rate in adolescents.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundMalocclusion deformity and caries are common oral diseases in adolescents. In order to explore the correlation between malocclusion deformity and caries prevalence in adolescents, this study analyzed the influence of factors such as poor oral habits on caries in adolescents.
methodsIn this study, 1,093 adolescents aged 11 to 14 enrolled in 2-3 schools in Zhangjiakou area from September 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the research subjects. The basic data of these adolescents were collected by questionnaires. Malocclusion and caries were examined by on-site inspection. Their bad oral habits were also investigated. After data collection, the chi-square test, logistic regression, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for multivariate analysis.
resultsThe results showed that the incidence of malocclusion was 72.66% and the caries rate was 68.8% among adolescents aged 11-14 in this area. The 4 bad oral habits of biting, mandibular protrusion, lateral chewing, and mouth breathing were the influencing factors of malocclusion in adolescents. Bad oral habits, malocclusion, and frequent consumption of sugary beverages were independent risk factors for caries in adolescents, and significantly positively correlated with the caries rate.
conclusionsMalocclusion and the four bad oral habits were independent risk factors of caries in adolescents.
