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: Early childhood caries (ECC) is the most common chronic disease of childhood, with especially high prevalence in Arizona and Hawaii where several racial and ethnic groups experience disproportionate burden. Although ECC is a polymicrobial disease, Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 408 preschool-aged children (1-6 years) from Arizona and Hawaii. Saliva samples were tested for Results: ECC odds increased with age and were higher among Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Asian, American Indian, and Hispanic children compared to non-Hispanic White children, although estimates for some groups were imprecise due to limited subgroups sizes. Conclusions: The observed correlation between
