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

backgroundMeasurement of bite force is important for understanding oral function.

objectivesWe aimed to clarify the relationship between the values of a newly developed one-sided measurement-type bite force meter (OBM-01 Prototype, JMS, Hiroshima) and those of a full-dentition bite force meter (Dental Prescale II, GC, Tokyo). Furthermore, we examined the intra- and inter-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients; ICCs) using the OBM-01 Prototype.

methodsThree studies were conducted. The first examined the ICC of the OBM-01 Prototype in 22 healthy adults; the second evaluated the relationship between the habitual chewing side bite force measured by the OBM-01 Prototype in 343 older adults, with or without dentures; and the third assessed the relationship between measurements obtained from the OBM-01 Prototype and Dental Prescale II in 201 older adults.

resultsThe ICCs showed good reliability. A moderate correlation was observed between the OBM-01 Prototype and Dental Prescale II, regardless of sex or denture presence on the habitual chewing side (Spearman's Rho; men 0.65, women 0.51 in non-denture group, men 0.51, women 0.55 in denture group). In both men and women, compared with the non-habitual chewing side, the habitual chewing side had significantly greater bite force. Additionally, the bite forces on the habitual and non-habitual chewing sides were strongly and positively correlated with the total bite force measured using the Dental Prescale II (Spearman's Rho; men: habitual 0.676, non-habitual 0.746, women: habitual 0.705, non-habitual 0.640).

conclusionsA correlation was observed between the measurements obtained from the OBM-01 Prototype and Dental Prescale II.
