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
Objective: To analyze the relationship between caries experience and social insertion in 12-year-old schoolchildren from an urban population in the Ecuadorian highlands. Materials and. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was conducted in 2023 with 12-year-old students in the Bellavista parish, Cuenca, Ecuador. Caries experience was measured using the severity levels of the WHO (World Health Organization) DMFT index. At the same time, social insertion was determined through the INSOC (Social Insertion) survey. The total population included 458 data points for the caries experience evaluation phase and 422 for the social insertion phase. Pearson's chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests were applied. Results: A percentage of 60.7% of schoolchildren had current caries. Regarding caries experience, 43.7% showed a shallow level, and 11,8% a very high level. Regarding sex, no statistically significant difference was found when comparing DMFT levels (X2, p=0.393). Regarding social insertion, schoolchildren came from the working-class and sub-salaried employee strata with 27.5% and 20.9%, respectively. No significant association was found between caries experience and social insertion in this population (X2 p=0.459). The social insertion stratum with the highest frequency of high DMFT levels was that of the children of migrants, with 27.27%. Conclusion: No significant association was found between caries experience and social insertion.
