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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between regular dental visits and the oral health status. Design: This was a retrospective study. Methods: We included 3,138 patients who visited the preoperative outpatient clinic and underwent oral examinations between April and September 2020. Patients whose last dental visit occurred less than one year prior to data collection constituted the regular visit group, while the irregular-visit group comprised those with a last dental visit beyond one year prior to data collection. We examined the following information: last dental visit, sex, age, disease causing hospitalization, frequency of daily brushing, presence or absence of moving teeth, and oral hygiene status. Results: The frequency of brushing was lower in the irregular-visit group than in the regular-visit group, suggesting a lower awareness of oral health in the irregular-visit group. Furthermore, the oral hygiene status in the regular-visit group was better than that in the irregular-visit group, with more patients showing no tartar deposition. Conclusions: Regular dental checkups can mitigate perioperative complications, preventing them from adversely affecting the treatment of the underlying disease. It is crucial to emphasize the importance of oral management, explain the need for it, and actively encourage regular dental visits.
