Dental caries status in adults with sleep apnea - hypopnea syndrome.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: A study is made of dental caries in a group of adults with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS), establishing comparisons with healthy individuals corresponding to the same population. Material and Methods: A case-control series was analyzed, including patients with recently diagnosed SAHS and individuals without SAHS. Dental examinations were made to record the DMF (decayed, missing, filled) dental score, and demographic, lifestyle and clinical data were collected. Results: A total of 114 participants (60 SAHS cases and 54 controls) were included in the study. Although the mean DMF score in the SAHS group was higher than in the control group (7.03 versus 4.81, respectively), the multivariate regression analysis did not find the difference to be statistically significant ( Conclusions: Older age and greater severity of SAHS are associated to higher DMF scores. However, the diagnosis of SAHS alone does not influence dental caries status.
