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
aimsThis study assessed the association between self-reported psychiatric diseases and the number of present teeth in older adults.
methodsIt was included 569 older adults selected using a probabilistic per cluster sampling strategy. Structured questionnaire was applied, and an oral health examination was performed. Self-reported psychiatric diseases were defined as the primary exposure, while the number of present teeth was the outcome. Adjusted analyses were performed using Poisson regression with robust variance (α < 0.05).
resultsThe prevalence of self-reported psychiatric disease was 16.5% (n = 94; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 13.5%-19.6%). In the final adjusted model, lower number of present teeth was associated with self-reported psychiatric diseases (rate ratio [RR]:0.69; 95% CI:0.51-0.94). Women (RR:0.72; 95% CI:0.61-0.84), those without access to the dentist (RR:0.54; 95% CI:0.45-0.65), and of higher age (RR:0.96; 95% CI:0.94-0.97) also presented lower number of present teeth when compared to their counterparts. Those with medium level of education presented higher number of teeth (RR:1.68; 95% CI: 1.43-1.98).
conclusionsOlder adults with self-reported psychiatric diseases, females, and those without dental access exhibited higher rates of tooth loss. Public policies should aim to integrate mental and oral health, ensuring equitable access to dental care for these most vulnerable groups.
