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

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of aging and number of remaining teeth on apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the submandibular and parotid glands. A total of 481 participants (230 men, 251 women) aged 20-89 years (mean: 53.70 years) were included. ADC values of the salivary glands were compared ​​between men and women using the Mann-Whitney U test. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated using patient ages and number of remaining teeth as the explanatory variables and the ADC values as the outcome variables. In addition, multiple linear regression was performed to evaluate the independent effects of age and number of remaining teeth on ADC values for each salivary gland. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) ADC values (× 10
