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

Background: The objective of this study was to assess the level of Methods: A self-administered parental questionnaire was used to identify one-year-old infants with high caries risk and to collect demographic information, the parents' and infants' oral health related behaviors. Saliva and plaque samples were collected from the participating infants. The real-time polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect the quantity of MS in infants' saliva and plaque. A clinical examination was conducted to record the caries experience and oral hygiene level of infants. Results: 579 high caries risk infants were recruited. The mean MS count in saliva and plaque was 0.08 ± 0.48 (×10 Conclusions: MS level in plaque and saliva was generally low among infants. The MS level in plaque showed a clearer association with the onset of dental caries than the salivary MS level in young children.
