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

objectiveTo describe endodontic changes in an adult Danish population (C2;2009-2014-2019) and compare them with a similar cohort (C1;1997-2003-2008). MATERIAL AND

methodsA randomly selected cohort (C2) with three full-mouth radiographic examinations. The frequencies of teeth, apical periodontitis (AP), root filled teeth, and lost teeth in C2 were compared to a similar cohort (C1) using regression analyses; effect of age, cohort, and period was assessed.

resultsC1 had 330 and C2, 170 participants (mean age, C1: 42.9; C2: 47.3 years, p < .001). The proportion of individuals with no AP was similar in C1 and C2 (p = .46). C2 had a higher proportion of individuals with no root filled teeth (p < .001) and no tooth loss (p = .02) than C1. The proportion of AP and root filled teeth increased with age in both cohorts. C2 had fewer root filled teeth and lost teeth, fewest lost teeth in the youngest age groups.

conclusionsIn C2, the prevalence of teeth with AP and root fillings increased with age, and few teeth were lost. Change in proportion of AP was similar in two cohorts; fewer root filled teeth and lost teeth in C2. The proportion of lost teeth in C2 showed cohort effect for older age groups.
