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

Materials and methods: The DMFT scores of 2202 patients with oral psychosomatic disorders, 145 psychiatric inpatients, and 3940 general dental patients were statistically compared. The DMFT of patients with oral psychosomatic disorders was further compared based on the presence or absence of psychiatric history and disease. Results: The median DMFT scores of oral psychosomatic disorder patients, psychiatric inpatients, and general dental patients were 16, 22, and 10, respectively, showing a significant difference. No significant differences were found in the DMFT scores based on the presence or absence of psychiatric history in oral psychosomatic disorder patients. Conclusion: The intraoral environment of patients with oral psychosomatic disorders was worse than that of general dental patients but better than that of psychiatric inpatients. General dentists could suspect psychiatric and oral psychosomatic disorders based on the state of patients' oral environment.
