Associations with oral health indices for obesity risk among Japanese men and women: results from the baseline data of a cohort study.
Article in BMC public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundOral health is composed of various oral health indices (OHIs), such as oral self-care habits, oral hygiene, oral function, and mastication ability. Oral self-care habits have frequently been examined for obesity risk. This study aimed to comprehensively clarify the association between OHIs and obesity risk.
methodsWe collected data for 15 questions on the four OHIs and measured the body mass index of 3494 men and 2552 women aged 35-79 years. Obesity was defined as a body mass index ≥25 kg/m
resultsIn the men and women, the ORs were 1.37 (1.11-1.67, < 0.01) and 2.48 (1.80-3.42, < 0.01) for oral self-care habits, and 1.78 (1.42-2.24, < 0.01) and 3.06 (2.12-4.43, < 0.01) for tooth brushing frequency, respectively. Moreover, in men, a significant trend was found for "harder rinsing out your mouth", related to "oral function". In women, the ORs were 1.74 (1.28-2.36, < 0.01) and 1.43 (1.00-2.06, < 0.01) for "comprehensive OHI" and "longer meal time" related to "mastication ability", respectively.
conclusionsOur findings showed that obesity risk was associated with poor of oral health, which were comprehensively composed of various OHIs, among middle-aged and older Japanese men and women.
