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
Introduction: Gingival recession is the exposure of root surface by an apical shift in the position of the gingiva. Exposure of the tooth surface leads to caries of the root surface, abrasion, erosion, sensitivity, esthetic concern and interproximal plaque accumulation. So, the objective of the present study was to find out the prevalence of recession in Nepalese population and its etiological factors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 participants for a period of December 2023 to February 2024 at Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, Dhulikhel Hospital after obtaining ethical approval from Institutional Review Committee (Reference no: 229/23). Written informed consent was obtained and gingival recession and its associated factors were examined using well-formed proforma. Data were entered into Microsoft excel and descriptive statistics were reported. Results: Out of a total of 350 participants, the prevalence of gingival recession was found to be 170 (48.56%, 95% CI = 43.33-53.73%). Among the participants, 177 (50.57%) were male, with 86 (48.58%) having gingival recession, while 84 (48.55%) of the remaining female participants had gingival recession. In the 40-49 years age group, 62 (72.09%) individuals had gingival recession. Gingival recession was observed in 48 (64.87%) participants with poor oral hygiene, 31 (67.39%) using a hard toothbrush, 22 (61.12%) with a history of prosthodontic treatment, 7 (70%) with subgingival restorations, and 3 (100%) with papillary penetrating frenal attachment. Conclusions: The study reported a high prevalence of gingival recession among sample Nepali adult population compared to other studies and there were multiple etiologies associated with it.
