Assessing the nutrient intake and diet quality of adults wearing dentures using the healthy eating index.
Observational study in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDiet quality might be impacted among individuals after receiving their dentures. This study assessed nutrient intake and diet quality among adults wearing maxillary and/or mandibular complete dentures using 24-hour dietary recalls and compared with the dietary reference intakes recommended for healthy individuals.
methodsAn observational clinical study was conducted with adult participants aged ≥ 50 years wearing maxillary and/or mandibular complete denture/s. They completed two 24-hour dietary recalls, first at an in-person visit and the second within seven days via phone using the Automated Self-Administered (ASA24
resultsA total of 93 participants participated in the study. 57% were female, 50% were black, 54% wore maxillary and mandibular dentures, 43% received dentures between 50 and 59 years, and 51% wore dentures for more than 10 years. The average HEI score was 54 (sd = 11.9), with a need for diet improvement among 59% of the participants. None of the participants had a good diet quality. More than 90% of the participants consumed dietary fiber, vitamin D, vitamin E, and choline below nutrient recommendations. Study participants with poor diet quality had significantly lower daily intake of fiber, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, D, C, B-6, and K (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe diet of the denture-wearing study participants was inadequate. Routine monitoring of the quality of dietary intake of individuals wearing dentures must be incorporated into a dental clinician's workflow. Further studies must be conducted to evaluate the diet quality of individuals undergoing prosthodontic treatment plans. Based on evidence-based research findings, interdisciplinary care approaches to promote continuity of care among denture wearers need to be established. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
