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: A combination of poor oral health status and malnourishment ultimately affect the quality of life of the person. Hence, these tools may help in identifying individuals at risk of poor quality of life and malnutrition caused by oral problems especially in adolescents. Objective: To test the association between dental caries, nutritional status and Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in 12-15 year-old school going adolescents. Study design: A cross sectional study was conducted on 12-15-year-old school going adolescents. A total of 1214 adolescents participated in the study. Data on quality of life was collected using OHIP-14 and clinical examination was done to assess the DMFT status and Body Mass Index (BMI) as measure of nutritional status of the subjects. Results: DMFT was found to be positively correlated with total OHIP score, however BMI was negatively correlated with OHIP. Controlling for BMI, partial correlation analysis revealed that there is a weak association between OHIP and DMFT scores which was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Both caries experience and nutrition status had significant impact on Quality of Life. All the three parameters were found to be correlated to each other.
