Dental Caries among Adult Population of a Municipality: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Oral disease as a public health problem poses a serious burden globally. The most common oral disease affecting adults is dental caries followed by periodontal disease leading to tooth loss. Early detection of dental caries can help reduce the severity and prevent further complications. This study aimed to ind out the prevalence of dental caries among adult population of a municipality. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among adults attending ive different dental camps in a municipality from 1 April 2022 to 2 June 2022. Ethical approval was obtained from Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 060-078/079). Convenience sampling method was used. The prevalence of dental caries was determined by dentition status adopted from basic oral health surveys recommended by World Health Organization. Point estimate and 95% Conidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 239 adults, 138 (57.74%) (51.48-64, 95% Conidence Interval) had dental caries. Conclusions: The prevalence of dental caries among adults in the municipality was lower than in similar studies done in similar settings. Keywords: cross-sectional study; dental decay; prevalence.
