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

backgroundThe impact of psychological factors on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in prosthodontic patients should not be ignored. It is unclear about the extent to which stigma affects OHRQoL. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between stigma and OHRQoL in prosthodontic patients.

methodsA total of 139 patients were included. Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI) and its subscales (enacted stigma (ES) and internalized stigma (IS)) were used to measure stigma. OHRQoL was evaluated utilizing 5-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-5), Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) and its subscales (Social Impact (SI), Psychological Impact (PI), Aesthetic Concern (AC) and Dental Self-Confidence (DSC)). The association between SSCI and OHIP/PIDAQ was detected employing Spearman correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression analysis.

resultsUnivariate analysis revealed that SSCI-total, ES, and IS scores were positively correlated with OHIP-5 (r

conclusionsStigma was negatively correlated with OHRQoL in prosthodontic patients. Higher stigma may impair OHRQoL. Interventions to alleviate the stigma in such patients is recommended to improve OHRQoL.
