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: One effective factor is a person`s sense of taste. This study compared the taste perception of dental students with different body mass index (BMI). Methods and materials: In this cross-sectional study, 100 dental students aged 21 to 25 years were evaluated. Participants were assessed on three BMI groups people, normal weight (BMI < 25) (kg/m Results: Of the participants, 54% were male and 46% were female, 71 people had normal weight, 23 people were overweight, and 6 were obese people. There are significant differences in taste threshold scores of main tastes except salty between genders for BMI groups (p-value < 0.05). The present study showed a significant difference in bitter and sour taste according to the BMI group. There was a significant difference between the taste perception and BMI group in sweet and bitter tastes in women. There was a significant difference in the sour taste perception and BMI group in men. Conclusion: Our results would present important insights into taste perception. The BMI may influence how sourness and bitterness are perceived. There was a noticeable difference in women's sweet and bitter taste perception based on BMI. Trial registration number: Not applicable.
