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

backgroundWe examined the factors associated with low tongue pressure to clarify its association with physical abnormalities in adolescent and young adult women.

methodsThis study enrolled 92 women aged 10-20 years. Following the collection of anthropometric data, measurements were performed, including grip strength, maximum occlusal force, maximum tongue pressure, and masticatory performance. Based on the Rohrer index and body mass index (BMI), the participants were divided into normal weight, underweight, and overweight/obese groups. Low tongue pressure was defined as the bottom 20th percentile of maximum tongue pressure. After univariate analyses, factors associated with low tongue pressure were identified using multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis.

resultsIn the bivariate analysis, maximum tongue pressure was significantly positively correlated with grip strength (

conclusionsLow tongue pressure is closely associated with being underweight, being overweight, and having lower grip strength among young women.
