Traumatic dental injuries in the first year of life and related risk factors in three regions of Brazil: a multicenter birth cohort study.

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
backgroundTraumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in early childhood exert a negative impact on the quality of life of children and their families. However, there is no evidence from cohort studies on which to base prevention strategies at the beginning of life, when children are entirely dependent upon supervision. The aim of the present study was to estimate the incidence of TDI in the first year of life and explore risk factors in a birth cohort followed up in three major cities in different regions of Brazil.
methodsA birth cohort study was conducted with children in the cities of Porto Alegre, Salvador, and Manaus. Socioeconomic, demographic, and anthropometric characteristics were collected at baseline. Behavioral characteristics were collected when the children were six and 12 months of age. After the first year of life, clinical examinations were performed by trained, calibrated dentists for the assessment of TDI (Andreasen's criteria). Poisson regression models were used to estimate associations between the independent variables and TDI, with the calculation of crude and adjusted relative risk (RR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsThe incidence of TDI in the first year of life (range: 12 to 16 months) was 18.1% (95% CI: 13.6-22.6%). The multivariable analysis revealed a significantly greater risk of TDI in children from non-nuclear families (RR = 1.83; 95% CI: 1.11-3.00) as well as those whose mothers had a higher level of schooling (RR = 2.42; 95% CI: 1.04-5.63) and when tooth eruption began up to six months of age (RR = 2.30; 95% CI: 1.34-3.95). Being the first-born child was a protective factor (RR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.27-0.87) for the occurrence of the outcome.
conclusionThe high incidence of TDI in the first year of life indicates the need for primary prevention strategies with an emphasis on active supervision in the first months of life. Risk factors associated with TDI related to the family, mother and child suggest pathways for the planning of such strategies.
