1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 purposes of this study were to analyse trends in primary tooth emergence patterns and to identify physical factors potentially associated with them.

methodsThe participants were 27,454 infants who underwent routine 18-month-old health examinations in Ebetsu City, Japan, between 1980 and 2012. This study was conducted using data from infants' 18-month-old health examinations over a 33-year period. The mean number of emerged primary teeth was analysed by sex using a general linear model. For logistic regression analysis, the proportion of infants with 16 emerged teeth or more at 18 months old was used as a dependent variable. Examination year; birth order; birth weight; weight, height, and chest girth at 18 months old; number of fused teeth; and mother's age were used as independent variables.

resultsThe mean number of emerged primary teeth decreased over the 33-year period. Birth weight and weight and height at 18 months old decreased, and the proportion of low-birth-weight (<2500 g) infants increased over the 33-year period. On general linear model analysis, the yearly change in the mean number of emerged primary teeth was -0.0188 for boys and -0.0181 for girls. Birth weight and weight and height at 18 months old were significantly associated with the presence of 16 emerged primary teeth or more, according to the logistic regression analysis.

conclusionsThe results demonstrated that, over the 33-year period examined, the mean number of emerged primary teeth decreased and birth weight and weight and height at 18 months old were associated with the pattern of tooth emergence.
