Impact of the Association Between Nutritional Status and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults from Two Cities in Southern Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the association between nutritional status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults from population-based studies of two cities in southern Brazil.
methodsA total of 569 community-dwelling individuals aged 60 years and older were included. Sociodemographic, dental, and behavioral data were collected. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). OHRQoL, the primary outcome, was measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Poisson regression with robust variance was applied in crude and adjusted analyses to evaluate the impact of nutritional status on OHIP-14 outcomes.
resultsThe prevalence of risk of malnutrition was 31.6%, while the mean OHIP-14 was 4.86 ± 7.55. Individuals with malnutrition risk (7.44 ± 9.95) showed overall OHIP-14 scores significantly higher than those with normal nutrition (3.65 ± 5.76) (
conclusionsIn conclusion, poorer nutritional status is significantly associated with a higher impact on OHRQoL in older adults.
