Erratum.
Article in Caries research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the article "Salivary Proteins and Metabolites as Caries Biomarkers in Adolescents" [Caries Res. 2024;58(6):573-588. https://doi.org/10.1159/000540090] by Havsed et al. an error in the headings of Table 1 has been identified. Due to incorrect labelling in Table 1 the CA (caries group) should have been placed in the left panel and CF (caries-free) should have been placed in the right panel.The authors have checked the statistical calculations to confirm the error is in the labelling of Table 1.The corrected Table 1 is shown here:Table 1.Oral hygiene and diet factors in caries-free (CF) and caries-experienced (CA) groupsCA (N = 20)CF (N = 20)p valueTooth brushing (using fluoride toothpaste) frequency ≥2 tpd7 (35)15 (75)0.039 opd10 (50)4 (20) 0-6 tpw3 (15)1 (5)Fluoride supplement ≥opd1 (5)5 (25)0.024 2-6 tpw5 (25)7 (35) 2-7 tpw8 (40)8 (40) ≤opm6 (30)0Diet frequency 1-3 tpd2 (10)3 (15)0.336 4-6 tpd10 (50)12 (60) 7-9 tpd5 (25)5 (25) ≥10 tpd3 (15)0Consumption of sweetened beverages, soda and energy drinks ≤opw2 (10)8 (40)0.002 2-3 tpw4 (20)10 (50) 4-6 tpw8 (40)2 (10) ≥opd6 (30)0Consumption of candies, ice cream, sweet, coffee bread and snacks ≤opw1 (5)8 (40)0.026 2-3 tpw6 (30)7 (35) 4-6 tpw9 (45)4 (20) ≥opd4 (20)1 (5)opd, once per day; opm, once per month; opw, once per week; tpd, times per day; tpw, times per week; tpm, times per month.Data represent number of participants (and percentages) corresponding to different answer options. Four out of the five parameters showed statistically significant differences between the groups (χ2 test), with a lower tooth brushing frequency, lower use of fluoride supplement, higher consumption of sweetened beverages, soda and energy drinks as well as ice cream, sweet, coffee bread and snacks in the CA group.
