Oral frailty status and influencing factors in a community-based elderly population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo assess the current state and influencing factors of oral frailty in a community-based elderly population systematically.
methodsThis study retrieved eligible articles from online databases such as Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, SinoMed, CNKI and Wanfang published through July 29, 2024. Two researchers reviewed the literature, extracted data, and assessed quality. Stata18.0 was used for the meta-analysis.
resultsThis study included 13 retrieved articles containing 7,352 total patients, covering 9 influencing factors. A meta-analysis of the 13 studies revealed a 42% incidence of oral frailty (95% CI: 32-51%) in community-dwelling elderly individuals. The meta-analysis revealed 10 statistically significant influencing factors for oral frailty in the elderly population: advanced age (95% CI: 1.02-2.22), female sex (95% CI: 0.30-5.87), few remaining natural teeth and denture use (95% CI: 0.88-22.79), chronic disease history (95% CI: 1.31-2.93), physical frailty (95% CI: 1.97-4.14), poor motor function (95% CI: 0.80-2.46), living alone and eating alone (95% CI: 0.54-16.60), depression (95% CI: 1.11-2.29), smoking (95% CI: 1.98-5.28), high education level (95% CI: 0.17-0.37), high oral health score (95% CI: 0.42-1.60), and sleep quality (95% CI: 0.26-2.29).
conclusionElderly individuals have a relatively high incidence of oral frailty. Factors influencing oral frailty in elderly individuals include advanced age, female sex, low oral health score, few remaining natural teeth and denture use, chronic disease history, physical frailty, poor motor function, living alone and eating alone, depression, smoking and poor sleep quality. Early screening and intervention should be carried out to reduce the impact of adverse outcomes on patients.
