Dental use and medical expenses for endodontic diseases under the National Health Insurance System in Taiwan from 1998 to 2020.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: / Materials and methods: The population data and medical records of the NHI system were obtained from the websites of Ministry of the Interior and the NHI Administration, respectively. The dental patient data for endodontic diseases were analyzed among all the patients by gender from 1998 to 2020. Results: Under NHI system, the number of patients with endodontic diseases increased from 1,985,413 in 1998 to the highest peak of 2,131,242 in 2004, and then decreased gradually to 1,803,645 in 2020. The total decreased number of patients was 181,768 from 1998 to 2020 with a total decrease rate of 9.16%. The dental use rate for endodontic diseases fluctuated slightly and decreased gradually from 9.09% in 1998 to 7.65% in 2020 with a total decrease rate of 15.88%. The total medical expenses for endodontic diseases fluctuated slightly and increased gradually from 4257.54 million NHI points in 1998-6569.98 million NHI points in 2020 with a total increase rate of 54.31%. All parameters of female patients were higher than those of male patients. Conclusion: Endodontic diseases are still the main oral diseases. Therefore, the endodontology in Taiwan should develop not only the treatment technology for endodontic diseases, but also the prevention technology and methods for endodontic diseases.
