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 oral health directly impacts the quality of life of individuals with different health conditions. To the best of our knowledge, no studies with this objective and design have investigated the impact of this condition on quality of life among patients with cardiovascular diseases of varying types and severities, with or without comorbidities, in Brazil.

objectiveTo identify the main oral conditions that impact the quality of life of individuals with cardiovascular diseases admitted to a highly complex hospital.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study with individuals of both sexes hospitalized in a ward and a cardiac intensive care unit, where sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. An oral bedside inspection was carried out, and the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire with 14 questions (OHIP-14) was applied to assess the impact of oral health on quality of life. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare OHIP-14 and oral condition. Univariate and multivariate Poisson regression evaluated the factors suggestive of an impact on health-related quality of life.

resultsEighty patients were examined, and 68.8% were men, 73.75% had tooth loss. Edentulous individuals (p < 0.001), crown fractures (p < 0.001), with the use of dental prostheses (p = 0.016), had worse quality of life concerning oral health. The factors most strongly associated with this negative impact were coronary artery disease (adjusted PR = 0.026) and the use of prosthesis (adjusted PR = 0.009).

conclusionEdentulism, use of prosthesis, and crown fractures were the clinical indicators of oral health that most impacted the quality of life of hospitalized individuals with cardiovascular disease. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
