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

objectivesAs one of the most common complications of laryngopharyngeal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease, dental erosion presents a significant association with laryngopharyngeal reflux. This study aimed to elucidate the role of laryngopharyngeal reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease on the severity and occurrence of dental erosion in adult populations.

methodsA comprehensive search was performed in the databases of PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus for English literature published from July 1999 to June 2024. Peer-reviewed publications evaluating the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and dental erosion in adult populations were retrieved. Opensigle and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform database were used to search the potential gray literature. A manual search was also performed to uncover further relevant studies from the reference lists.

resultsThe electronic literature search yielded 1382 studies, with 22 researches in line with the inclusion criteria. Results of included publications indicated a significantly higher prevalence of dental erosion in adult populations with gastroesophageal reflux disease or laryngopharyngeal reflux compared to healthy populations. Subjects with dental erosion demonstrate a greater prevalence of laryngopharyngeal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease as well. The heterogeneity of the evaluation of clinical outcomes, diagnostic methods, and the definition of diseases need to be considered. Future studies should define reflux disease according to a universal guideline to better enhance treatment in adult populations.

conclusionGastroesophageal reflux disease or laryngopharyngeal reflux presents a significant association with dental erosion in adult populations. Clinicians should emphasize timely detection and management of the underlying factors of dental erosion in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
