Root caries: Prevalence, risk indicators, and clinical characteristics - A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of root caries (RC) in South Coastal population of India, to identify the risk indicators associated with it and to describe some clinical characteristics of RC lesions. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample size of 1062 subjects to assess the prevalence of RC. Each subject underwent an oral examination, performed by a single-calibrated examiner. Questionnaires were used to collect the data on oral hygiene habits, diet, smoking, alcohol habits, systemic conditions, and education level. Univariate and multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify the risk indicators associated with RC. Results: The prevalence of RC was found to be 7.5%, with a mean RC Index of 17.66%. The results of multiple logistic regression showed that age (≥40 years), systemic conditions, and exposed root surfaces were statistically significantly associated with RC ( Conclusion: RC is prevalent not only in the older age group but also the younger adults in this cohort. This study suggests an association between RC and the variables age (≥40 years), exposed root surfaces and systemic conditions.
