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
Introduction: Dental extraction is a common curative treatment against pain provided to the patients. A limited number of scientific literature are available that characterizes the reasons for teeth extractions in Nepalese population. The aim of this study is to find out the causes for dental extraction in patients and explore the relationships between demographic variables and loss of teeth in the Nepalese population. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study performed to assess the predictors and reasons for permanent tooth extraction among the Nepalese patients who visited dental department in a tertiary health care center from 18 Results: A total of 465 (42.66%) permanent teeth were extracted from the 1090 patients, out of which 198 (18.16%) were male and 267 (24.49%) were female patients between the age of 10 years to 70 years. Among all the participants, 165 (15.13%) extraction were done due to peridontal disease and 213 (19.54%) of extraction was done due to endodontic disease. Conclusions: Endodontic and periodontal diseases were the most common causes of dental extraction. Permanent molars and incisors were extracted the most.
