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

Introduction: Like general health, oral health also depends upon their occupational environment and occupational health policies. Workplace exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and its harmful effect is well known. The consumption of tobacco, arecanut, and alcohol is the leading preventable cause for development of oral potentially malignant disorders. Aim: To determine prevalence of habit-induced oral lesions in different occupations in different geographical places of West Bengal and compare among them. Method: A total of 841 people aged 15 years and above were selected from different parts of West Bengal. Face-to-face interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and oral cavity examination was done in daylight. Data were summarized, and statistical analysis was done. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test and univariate logistic regression done. Results: The people in armed forces had cancer-causing habits most, and managers had cancer-causing habits least. People in armed forces had cancer-causing habits most, and people with Group-1 occupation/managers had cancer-causing habits least.
