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
objectivesIn the context of military health, removable partial acrylic dentures (RPADs) are crucial for the quality of life and performance of Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) soldiers. Given the demanding and unpredictable military environment, RPADs provide a solution for soldiers experiencing tooth loss. This research aims to identify behavioral factors influencing the lifespan of RPADs among TNI soldiers. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study employed an observational cross-sectional design with an analytical approach. The study population consisted of all patients fitted with RPADs at Ladokgi RE Martadinata from 2017 to 2019. The inclusion criteria included TNI soldiers using good functionality RPADs from 2017 to 2019. Data were collected through a valid questionnaire (Cronbach's alpha = 0.738) and analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation and multiple linear regression.
resultsIn total, 46 respondents (84.8% males, aged 50-59 years) participated in this study. The average behavioral score was 153.72, with a standard deviation of 1.13. The average lifespan of RPADs was 5.33 years. The correlation analysis showed a moderate positive correlation between behavioral scores and RPAD lifespan (
conclusionGood RPAD maintenance behavior correlates with a longer RPAD lifespan. Socialization programs and instructions for RPAD care need enhancement to ensure optimal quality of life and performance among TNI soldiers.
