Role of nutrition in prevention of dental caries in children and adolescents: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The main purpose of this review is to present an overview in prevention of dental caries in children and adolescents and the relationship with nutrition. The role of nutrition on avoiding dental caries (DC) in children is examined in this systematic review, which highlights the disease's complex character. It emphasized how crucial it is to cut back on sugar consumption and how complex relationships exist between oral health (OHT), nutrition, and other variables when developing preventative measures. Using the PICO framework and PRISMA recommendations, this study investigated how nutrition affects the prevention of DC in children. A thorough search turned up 12 pertinent studies that fitted the inclusion requirements. The results demonstrated the relationship between diet and the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management approaches of DC. A balanced, low-sugar diet is crucial, as this systematic study emphasized the link between DH and children's frequency of DC. In an effort to address gaps in vulnerable populations, comprehensive solutions advocating for community-based treatments and legislative changes are put forth to enhance nutrition and OHT.
