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

Dental caries is the disease of the oral cavity with serious oral health concern. It affects 50% of the schoolchildren worldwide. The consequences affect quality of life and may lead to socioeconomic crisis. The study was undertaken with the aim to understand the prevalence of class I caries in the second mandibular primary molar in 3-6-year-old children. The data were collected from the institutional patient records between September 2020 and February 2021. Of 6828 children, 100 children with class I caries in the mandibular second molar were included in the study. Data analysis was performed to find the association. On analyzing the correlation between age and prevalence of class I caries, all the age groups (i.e., 3-6 years) have almost equal prevalence of class I caries in both left and right second mandibular primary molars. On analyzing the correlation between gender and prevalence of class I caries, male children constitute about 56% of overall prevalence. About 43% of female children constitute class I caries. From the present study, it shows that there is high prevalence of class I caries in the second mandibular primary molar in children of 3-6 years of age. Knowledge on caries pattern on individual teeth and risk factors will help control and reduce dental caries.
