Prevalence of oral frailty in community-dwelling older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 6 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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: Older adults are vulnerable to oral frailty due to factors such as age, education level, physical condition, and limited access to medical resources. Given that oral frailty can lead to adverse outcomes and is often overlooked by policymakers and health professionals, it is important to understand the current state of oral frailty among community-dwelling older adults. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Two researchers independently conducted searches in seven databases, extracted data, and assessed the quality of eligible studies. Data from cross-sectional studies or cohort studies with a clear definition of oral frailty. Stata 14.0 was utilized to evaluate the overall prevalence of oral frailty, while Cochrane's Results: A total of 15 studies were ultimately included in this analysis. The pooled prevalence of oral frailty among community-dwelling older adults was 32% (95% CI: 24%-40%, Conclusion: Our study found that oral frailty affects more than one in three older adults living in the community. This highlights the importance for policymakers and health professionals to screen early and implement effective measures to prevent oral frailty among older adults residing in community settings.
