Dietary and Salivary Oxidative Status Related to Root Caries Severity: A Case-Control Study.
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: Root caries (RC) is a significant concern in older adults. Oxidative stress and dietary factors may play a role in its development and progression. However, the interactive effects of dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) and RC severity (RCS) on salivary oxidative status in this population are not fully understood. This study aimed to assess dietary and salivary oxidative status and to investigate the interactive effect of RCS and dTAC on salivary total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidative status (TOS) in older adults. Materials and Methods: A case-control study was conducted with 90 participants aged 50-60 years recruited from a university dental hospital. Participants were allocated into six groups ( Results: Salivary TAC was significantly higher in participants with high dTAC ( Conclusion: Both dietary TAC and RC S have significant, independent, and interactive effects on salivary oxidative status among older adults. A diet high in antioxidants may improve salivary oxidative status and potentially mitigate the severity of RC. Dietary interventions aimed at increasing antioxidant intake may be a valuable adjunct to conventional RC prevention strategies in older adults. Further research should explore the long-term impact of dietary antioxidants on RC incidence and progression, and investigate specific antioxidant compounds and their mechanisms of action in larger, more diverse populations.
