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
Purpose: End-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment by hemodialysis represent a public health issue especially in Morocco. This study aimed to assess the impact of chronic renal failure on oral health in patients undergoing renal dialysis. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients undergoing dialysis. The variables recorded were DMFT (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index and pH salivary. The correlation between oral health and the duration of dialysis was assessed. Results: A total of 46 adult hemodialysis was evaluated, among them 52.2% were males, the mean age was 58.72 ± 12.4 years. All the patients in the sample underwent three dialysis sessions per week. Half of the patients brushed their teeth once a day. The average DMFT index was 15.41 ± 6.04. Xerostomia was noted in 84.8% of the sample. This health situation analysis showed that dental care of the dialysis patients was not favorable, highlighting a great need for dental treatment. Conclusion: CKD cases should be made aware of the oral problems and their potential effect on overall health. A multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of different specialties is recommended.
