Systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence and risk factors of oral frailty among older adults.

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 present study aim to systematically review the prevalence and influencing factors of oral frailty in older people. Methods: A search strategy was developed and implemented to systematically review literature across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, MEDLINE (via EBSCOhost), CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), and Weipu Database (VIP), in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Our search encompassed studies published up to June 28, 2024, that investigated the prevalence or risk factors of oral frailty among older adults. Literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were independently performed by two researchers, followed by data analysis using Stata 17 software. This study has been registered with PROSPERO. Results: A total of 35 studies involving 202,864 participants were analyzed. The overall prevalence of oral frailty among older adults was 34.0% (95% CI: 27.9-40.1%, Conclusion: The incidence of oral frailty among older adults is notably high and influenced by a variety of factors. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to actively implement preventive and treatment measures addressing the controllable factors associated with oral frailty. Such proactive efforts are essential for early identification of high-risk individuals, which can help reduce the prevalence of oral frailty among older adults and enhance their quality of life.
