Contextual and Individual Determinants of Anterior Open Bite in Adolescents.
Article in International dental journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveStudying the broader determinants of anterior open bite (AOB) may guide more equitable policies.This study estimates the prevalence of AOB in Brazilian adolescents and its association with contextual and individual determinants. METHODOLOGY: The data for dentofacial anomalies in 15- to 19-year-olds from the National Oral Health Survey SBBrasil 2010 were analysed (N = 4748). AOB was based on the Dental Aesthetic Index (AOB = 0; AOB > 0); the contextual variables were the Human Development Index (HDI) and the Gini Index (2010). The individual sociodemographic variables included sex (male, female), self-reported skin colour/race (white, black, brown, and indigenous + yellow), family income (≥4 minimum wage [MW]; 0-3 MW), and educational attainment (ideal, delayed). The individual clinical variables were decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) (0, ≥1), first permanent molar loss (0, ≤3, 4), and molar relationship (normal, half cusp, full cusp). Multilevel logistic regression models with random intercepts and fixed slopes were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (95% CIs).
resultsAOB prevalence in Brazil was 8.78% (95% CI, 6.85-11.20) at 15 to 19 years of age. The lowest prevalence was in São Luis (2.63%; 95% CI, 0.58-11.03) and the highest was in João Pessoa (29.85%; 95% CI, 15.93-48.85), both capitals of the northeast Brazilian region. A higher prevalence of AOB (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.04-2.80) was observed in municipalities with a lower HDI. Adolescents who declared their skin colour black, with lower family income, with delayed education, with DMFT ≥ 1, who lost 4 permanent first molars, and who had a complete molar cusp relationship were more likely to have AOB.
conclusionsAOB varied amongst Brazilian municipalities. The HDI plays an important role in the prevalence of AOB; individual social determinants have also been associated with AOB malocclusion in adolescents.
