A dual perception of an ageing orofacial appearance- an interview study.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore how people aged 65 years and older experience their orofacial appearance (OA).
methodSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 strategically recruited participants aged 65-79 years from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care-Blekinge (SNAC-B) in Karlskrona. A semi-structured interview guide was developed, and the interviews were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in the data.
resultsThe older adults' experience of their OA was represented in four themes: (i) you kind of have to like the situation as it is now-to accept orofacial appearance in its current state; (ii) an ageing orofacial appearance-a slow continuous downhill slope; (iii) looking good for others to fit the social norm; and (iv) keeping up orofacial appearance-seemingly without effort.
conclusionThe older adults in this study had a dual perception in relation to their own OA. Although society often values a younger looking appearance, striving for a youthful appearance is seen negatively, which may potentially reflect the complexities of the perceptions of one's own ageing OA. Only those with dental issues found the impact of teeth on OA perception to be particularly significant.
