Determinants of masticatory ability in Taiwanese patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.

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
Background/purpose: Despite the existing knowledge on osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), there is a notable lack of research focused on determining the optimal number and types of teeth that individuals with OI should keep to ensure effective chewing. This study aimed to identify variables influencing masticatory ability among patients with OI. Materials and methods: A total of 37 patients with OI participated in the study. Data were collected through questionnaires and dental examinations. The questionnaire assessed sociodemographic information, oral habits, self-perceived health, and self-rated masticatory ability, utilizing 14 common Taiwanese food groups. Dental information was evaluated through clinical examinations. Statistical methods, including the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, were employed to identify factors associated with self-rated masticatory ability. Subsequently, multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of masticatory ability. Results: The multiple logistic regression analysis identified the number of posterior functional tooth units (P-FTUs) as a significant predictor of masticatory difficulty in patients with OI. Conclusion: Enhancing masticatory ability in patients with OI requires not only a sufficient number of natural teeth or fixed prosthetics but also a focus on the optimal arrangement and functionality of these dental supports.
