1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) is regarded as a sensitive and simple method for quantitative assessment of oral hygiene status that enhances decision-making efficiency and reduces examination time. However, no exclusive indices catering to the assessment of oral hygiene in pediatric patients with primary or mixed dentition have been proposed in existing literature. The present research evaluated the reliability and validity of the new oral health index for children (OHI-C). Materials and methods: The present study was conducted on a total of Results: The OHI-S was significantly correlated with the OHI-C ( Conclusion: Findings of the present study suggest that the OHI-C has moderate to good intra- and interexaminer reproducibility, and the examination by OHI-C still provides information that will enable the dental professional to determine practicable oral health instructions in children, similar to the corresponding OHI-S in adults.
