The relationship between dental caries with asthma, disease duration, and type of medications in the Azar cohort population.

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.
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
introductionDue to the high prevalence of asthma worldwide, paying attention to oral health is important. This study explores the relationship between DMFT (decayed, missing, and filled teeth) and asthma, disease duration, and related medications in the Azar cohort population. METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this cross-sectional analytical study, the part of the data related to asthma, disease duration, type of medications, and DMFT were extracted from the Azar cohort study. Azar cohort started among 15,006 adults (35-70 years old) in 2014 in the northwest of Iran. In the present study, all 538 asthmatic people in Azar cohort population included in asthma group and 1076 of non-asthmatic people included in the control group. The outcome variable was DMFT, D, M and F. A negative binomial with loglink was used to adjust the effect of confounding variables in regression models.
resultsAmong the asthmatics, 28.3% were using anti-asthmatic medications. In 38.3% of the asthmatic group, the disease duration was ten years or more. In the asthmatic group, the mean DMFT was 23.15 ± 8.67, and the greatest section of the DMFT was related to M component. The relationship of DMFT and M component with asthma, disease duration, and medication were insignificant but D component showed significant relationship with asthma.
conclusionIt can be assumed that the history of asthma does not have an effective role in DMFT index and M component in adults but decayed teeth were higher in asthmatics.
