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

backgroundThe harmful impact of tobacco smoke on health is widely recognized, linking it to various diseases. However, the link between tobacco smoke and edentulism in China's population hasn't been fully investigated. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring smoking habits and the possible connection between tobacco smoke and edentulism in a nationally representative Chinese cohort.

methodsThis study used data from the 2011 China Longitudinal Study of Health and Retirement (CHARLS) and included 17,705 participants aged 45 years and older, and linked with follow-up data (2018). Smoking status (non-smoker, ex-smoker, smoker, pack-years of smoking, age at starting and ceasing smoking) was used as an independent variable, and edentulism was used as a dependent variable. Multivariable logistic regression analysis and curve fitting were used to evaluate the association between smoke status and edentulism. Subgroup analyses were then employed to examine the impact of subgroup factors on the link between smoking status and edentulism.

resultsA total of 13,720 people were included in the study, 2,029 of whom were edentulism patients. The association between smoking duration (OR = 1.038, 95%CI = 1.031, 1.045) /Age at quitting smoking (OR = 1.026, 95%CI = 1.013, 1.039)/Smoking pack years (OR = 1.005, 95%CI = 1.002, 1.007) and risk of edentulism was significant, while Age start smoking (OR = 1.003, 95%CI = 0.995, 1.012) and Cigarettes consumed per day (OR = 0.998, 95%CI = 0.991, 1.006) was not associated with risk of edentulism. Compared with non-smokers, current smoker had a higher risk of edentulism (OR 1.274, 95% CI = 1.108, 1.465). Additionally, our results also revealed that there was a nonlinear trend between Smoking duration/Cigarettes consumed per day/Age at quitting smoking/ Age at starting smoking/pack-years of smoking and edentulism (P > 0.05).

conclusionThe research found a significant link between smoking habits and edentulism in nationally representative Chinese population. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study in China found a complex link between tobacco use and tooth loss among middle-aged and elderly individuals, highlighting the need for personalized smoking cessation strategies to improve dental health in this population.
