Risk Factors of Early Dental Caries in Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders in the Republic of Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim: The prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and early childhood caries (ECC) is increasing globally. The association between ASD and ECC remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for ECC in children with ASD in Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Materials and Methods: This multi-center observational study included 190 children aged 5-6 years (125 with ASD and 65 without ASD) from Kazakhstan ( Results: In Kazakhstan, only 16.07% of children with ASD brushed their teeth twice daily, compared to 33.33% in Ukraine. Mean plaque index scores indicated poor oral hygiene in children with ASD in both Kazakhstan (2.6 ± 0.14) and Ukraine (2.70 ± 0.13). Oral fluid pH was significantly lower (more acidic) in children with ASD in both Kazakhstan (5.53 ± 0.07) and Ukraine (5.96 ± 0.07) compared with controls. The dietary habits observed slow eating patterns in the ASD group from the range of 8.70-25%. Conclusions: Children with ASD in both Kazakhstan and Ukraine exhibit a higher risk for ECC, which is associated with poor oral hygiene practices and acidic oral pH. These findings highlight the need for targeted oral health interventions and guidelines for children with ASD, irrespective of geographic location.
