Geographical Disparities and Socioeconomic Determinants of Untreated Dental Caries in Permanent Teeth Across Asia, 1990-2019: A Retrospective Population-Based Burden Analysis.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: We aimed to analyze the trends of untreated caries in permanent teeth in Asia over the past 30 years, identify high-risk groups and areas of high prevalence, and explore strategies to mitigate this disease burden. Methods: Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Database. The incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), and age-standardized YLD rate (ASYR) were analyzed. Spatial and temporal distributions of untreated caries in permanent teeth were also determined. Results: For Asia, the crude incidence, prevalence, and YLDs showed increasing trends; ASIR remained constant; and ASPR and ASYR demonstrated decreasing trends. In 2019, the incidence and prevalence of untreated caries in permanent teeth peaked in the 20-24-year age group. The spatial "hot spots" for ASIR were South and East Asia, whereas the "cold spots" were West and Central Asia. The hot spots for ASPR and ASYR were in West Asia, whereas the cold spots were in East Asia. Conclusions: Untreated caries in permanent teeth demonstrated significant geographical and demographic differences in Asia, revealing a relevant public health challenge. Intervention strategies based on dynamic changes are required to reduce the burden of dental caries in this region.
