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

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of different oral lesions and periodontal status among diabetic Saudi female patients in the College of Dentistry, PNU University. Materials and Method: A retrospective study was performed by reviewing the files of all patients who visited the College of Dentistry, PNU University, during the last 5 years. We selected diabetic 20-40-year-old Saudi female patients. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of PNU University. Data collection sheets were used to gather information on demographics, education, medical and dental history, and extra and intra-oral findings. Data on the duration of diabetes, any major complications, and type of diabetes therapy were retrieved from medical records. The data were entered into an Excel sheet, and descriptive statistics were performed. The analytical phase proceeded to correlate oral lesions with patient age, type of diabetes, and periodontal status. Result: A total of 226 diabetic patients were found after reviewing the records. The most common oral mucosal lesions were traumatic ulcers (10.2%), cheek biting (8.8%), and fissured tongue (8.4%). Furthermore, 81.86% of them had periodontitis, and 18.14% had a healthy periodontal status. Conclusion: The prevalence of periodontitis among diabetic female patients is higher than that of oral lesions. Stage III periodontitis showed the strongest association to oral lesion.
