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

Background: Malocclusion and lifestyle diseases like obesity can lead to poor oral hygiene and food stagnation, resulting in increased caries incidence. Objectives: To evaluate the interrelationship of age, body mass index (BMI), occlusion, and dental decay in children aged between 5 and 14. Methodology: Our study included 423 school students aged 5-14 visiting dental clinics. Correlation between BMI and DMFT index using Spearman's correlation coefficient and the association of BMI with gender, age group, and occlusion using the Chi-square test were assessed. Results: The study comprised a larger sample of students aged above 10 years ( Conclusion: Dental practitioners must pay attention to the BMI of children and consider diet as a major intervention for dental caries prophylaxis.
