The global prevalence of tooth wear in general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objective: Tooth wear (TW), as a common dental challenge, refers to the loss of dental tissue with four types of Attrition, Erosion, Abrasion, and Abfraction. Since there are no scientific reports regarding the global TW prevalence, this study was designed to investigate the prevalence of TW worldwide. Study design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Systematic search was conducted (by November 2024) in valid databases of PubMed, WoS, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar search engine using the main keywords of "Prevalence", "Tooth wear", "Erosion", "Attrition", "Abfraction", and "Abrasion". The I Results: Following the review of 133 eligible studies with the sample size of 92,153 individuals with TW, the global prevalence of TW was found to be 40.8 % (95 %CI: 36.7-45, I Conclusion: According to the high global prevalence of TW, the implementation of a comprehensive strategy by the health care system seems necessary to control TW occurrence and prevent the associated complications.
