Prevalence of Dental Caries in Arabian Children Attending King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah: A Pilot Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to identify the prevalence of dental caries in children and the impact of associated risk factors. This cross-sectional study was performed on children attending the dental clinic at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria were used for the diagnosis of early childhood caries. Only Saudi children aged three to 12 years whose parents had given consent and who were attending dental clinics at King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah, were involved in the study and underwent clinical examinations. Non-Saudi nationals and uncooperative children under the age of three years are excluded from the study. The statistics were performed using SPSS version 23 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.), considering a p-value of less than 0.05 as significant. A high prevalence of 95% (96) of dental caries was evident in the present study. This study found that dental visits and diet had an impact on dental caries status, while gender, age, family position, and oral hygiene practices did not show any impact.
