Prevalence of root caries in Indian population - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Evidence-based dentistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.

aimTo evaluate the pooled prevalence of root caries among Indian population through systematic review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study protocol adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022367365). Research articles published in English language till July 2022 were evaluated with the use of databases like PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Scopus and employed standard Boolean operators.
resultsThe search turned up a total of 194 articles; however, only 14 of those matched the requirements for inclusion and were used to compile the meta-analysis. MedCalc
conclusionThree out of ten persons in India may be affected by root caries, which is a serious health issue. To enhance the quality of life for the aged population, oral health policies and preventive actions should concentrate on this issue.
