Oral health needs and use of services by adults: evidence from SB Brasil 2023.
Article in Brazilian oral research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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 cross-sectional study investigated the demand for and use of dental services, use of prosthesis, self-perception and clinical evaluation of the need for dental treatment and prostheses in adults aged 35 to 44 years participating in SB Brasil 2023. Demographic and contextual variables were analyzed, as well as clinical variables and self-perception of oral health (treatment and prosthesis). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics 23.0 software. The results showed that the majority of adults used dental services in the past year, mainly in the private and public sectors. Among public service users, 62.3% were actually attended to. The need for prostheses was identified in 49.6% of individuals who do not use prostheses and in 77.7% of those who already use them. It was observed that 86.6% of individuals who self-assessed their need for prosthesis were also clinically evaluated as needing one. Regarding dental treatment, this evaluation coincided in 65.6% of individuals. Disparities in access to and utilization of dental services were identified, as well as a high demand for prosthetic care and rehabilitation. These results emphasize the need for public policies that expand access to and improve the quality of dental services in adult healthcare in Brazil. Furthermore, they suggest that promoting self-perception could be an effective strategy to improve planning and adherence to oral health care.
