Prevalence of Noncarious Cervical Lesions and Gingival Recession in Subpopulations of Guinea-Bissau.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) and gingival recession (GR) in Guinea-Bissau and investigate their correlation with oral hygiene practices. Methods: Six calibrated examiners conducted intraoral examinations on individuals aged 12 years and above. A questionnaire gathered sociodemographic and oral hygiene information. NCCLs were identified through visual inspection of buccal and lingual/palatal tooth surfaces, while GR was assessed exclusively on buccal surfaces. The study adhered to World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for oral health surveys. Results: A total of 233 participants took part, with 132 (56.9%) females and 100 (43.1%) males, of whom 165 (70.8%) lived in the capital and 68 (29.2%) on the Bijagós Islands. Age groups included 12-18 years (86; 36.9%), 19-34 years (67; 28.7%), and >34 years (80; 34.3%). GR was prevalent in 94.4% of the population, and NCCLs were present in 29.4%. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference in prevalence between the capital and the islands. The study did not find a significant association between NCCLs, GR, and oral hygiene practices. Nonetheless, both conditions showed correlations with age, gender, and treatment requirements, suggesting that individuals with GR are more predisposed to NCCLs.
