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

Aim: This case-control study aims to assess the association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dental caries among individuals aged 18-35 years in Chennai city, India. Materials and Method: The study included 350 participants, divided equally into GERD and non-GERD groups, identified using a six-item GERD questionnaire. Dental caries was assessed using the DMFT index, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated for each participant. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of variance. Results: Significant association was found between GERD and higher DMFT scores, with GERD patients exhibiting more decayed, missing, and total teeth compared to non-GERD patients. Conclusion: These findings underscore the need for integrated dental and medical care for GERD patients, emphasizing weight management to mitigate GERD symptoms. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay between GERD, dental caries, and BMI in a young adult population.
