Oral Function as a Predictor of Skeletal Muscle Mass Decline in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 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
backgroundNormal oral function is pivotal for maintaining systemic health in older adults as it directly affects skeletal muscle mass and overall physical well-being. Nonetheless, specific oral function-related factors influencing the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in healthy older adults remain underexplored.
objectiveTo identify oral function-related factors associated with a low SMI in healthy, community-dwelling older adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 165 healthy older adults aged ≥ 75 years from senior culture centres in Korea. Participants were categorised into normal and low SMI groups, with low SMI defined as < 7.0 kg/m
resultsThe prevalence of a low SMI was 19.4% (n = 32). After adjusting for sociodemographic variables, reduced MP (odds ratio, 3.899; 95% confidence interval, 1.103-13.779) and reduced TP (odds ratio, 3.416; 95% confidence interval, 1.035-11.270) were identified as factors associated with a low SMI.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that a reduction in MP and TP contributes to a low SMI in healthy older adults, highlighting the importance of oral function in maintaining systemic health and promoting healthy ageing.
