Periodontal health status, dental caries experience, oral hygiene practices and treatment needs of geriatric tribal population.
Article in Bioinformation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This pilot project aims to evaluate the oral health condition of Jharkhand's elderly tribal population, which is located in eastern India. There were 200 participants in this descriptive cross-sectional pilot research, 89 of whom were men and 111 of whom were women. The majority of the people in the study group were jobless. Periodontal health, dental cavities and the presence or absence of prostheses were evaluated. The study's findings indicated that older adults (those over 85) had a higher prevalence of periodontal diseases and a greater demand for prostheses. The DMF index revealed that those over 85 years old had a greater frequency of missing teeth and cavitation in the 75-85 age range. The prevalence of oral diseases is quite high among Jharkhand's tribal people. It is concerning that tobacco use is so common. Therefore, to enhance this population's oral health, sufficient education, motivation and training in oral hygiene must be provided.
