Burden of Oral Diseases and Access to Oral Care in an Ageing Society.
Review in International dental journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe total years lived with disability among older people, and the concomitant burden of tooth loss in ageing societies have increased. This study is an overview of the burden of oral diseases and access to oral care in an ageing society.
methodsWe selected key issues related to the burden of oral diseases and access to oral care and reviewed the relevant literature.
resultsThe rising number of older people with teeth increases their oral health care needs. To improve access to oral care, affordability of care is a great concern with respect to universal health coverage. In addition, accessibility is a crucial issue, particularly for vulnerable older adults. To improve oral care access, attempts to integrate oral health care into general care are being made in ageing countries. For this purpose, provision of professional oral care at home through domiciliary visits and provision of daily oral health care by non-dental professional caregivers are important. Oral health care for older people reduces general diseases such as pneumonia and malnutrition, which in turn could reduce further healthcare costs.
conclusionsTo address the growing burden of oral care in ageing societies, special provision of oral health care to vulnerable older people, and integration of oral care with primary care will be required.
