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

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the caries risk in children with early childhood caries (ECC) and late childhood caries (LCC) using the American Dental Association's Caries Risk Assessment Form (ADA-CRAF) and compared contributing risk factors for cavitated and noncavitated lesions between the groups. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study performed between January 2022 and December 2023 included 218 children aged 1-6 years, divided into ECC (<3 years, Results: Among participants, 78% were in the high caries risk category. The LCC group showed a higher prevalence of cavitated (78.9%) and noncavitated lesions (63.3%) compared to the ECC group (50.5% and 38.5%, respectively). Significant risk factors included visible plaque, fluoride exposure, and the consumption of frequent sugary beverages. Notably, children without cavitated or noncavitated lesions could still be classified as high risk, highlighting the importance of preventive measures. Conclusion: The study revealed a high prevalence of dental caries ( How to cite this article: Vignesh KC, Veeravagoo L, Gandikota KA,
