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

objectivesTo comprehensively analyze the current situation and the trends over the next 21 years, focusing on health inequalities related to edentulism among the elderly across global regions. MATERIALS AND

methodsData on edentulism in older adults were collected from the 2021 global burden of disease (GBD) study. Disease burden trends were analyzed using a joinpoint model. We used the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and the Concentration Index (CI) to assess health inequalities. A Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to analyze the projected trend of prevalence up to 2040.

resultsThe number of incident, prevalent, and years lived with disability (YLD) cases of edentulism in older adults is increasing globally, while the rate is declining. According to the analysis of health inequality, the burden of edentulism among older adults was gradually concentrated in countries with lower Sociodemographic Index (SDI). Significant downward trends were expected in the global age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of edentulism for both genders from 2020 to 2040; however, the number is increasing.

conclusionsTaken together, the burden of edentulism in older people remains high and generally shifts from higher-SDI countries to lower-SDI countries. There are great differences between countries, and effective measures should be taken in countries with poorer economies. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The disease burden of edentulism in older adults is gradually shifting towards lower SDI countries. It is crucial to optimize the utilization and allocation of healthcare resources to reduce health inequities in edentulism in older adults.
