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

backgroundFew studies have evaluated masticatory ability and habits in relation to physical function. This study aimed to investigate the association of physical function with both masticatory ability and masticatory habits.

methodsIn this cohort study, we followed up with 146 community-dwelling older adults aged 65-84 years for 1 year. Physical function domain scores on the Kihon Checklist were used to assess physical function. Masticatory ability was examined using objective measurements and self-administered questionnaires. Data on masticatory habits were obtained using self-administered questionnaires. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the association between masticatory ability and masticatory habits as exposures; logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of exposure on the outcome.

resultsA relationship was found between objective and subjective masticatory ability; however, no relationship was found between objective masticatory ability and masticatory habits. Furthermore, subjective masticatory ability and masticatory habits appeared to influence physical function 1 year later (odds ratio [OR]: 6.00, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44-25.05; OR: 6.49, 95% CI: 2.45-17.22).

conclusionMasticatory ability and habits may be associated with a decline in physical function after 1 year in community-dwelling older adults. To maintain the physical function of these individuals, early intervention that addresses not only masticatory ability but also masticatory habits is necessary.
