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
objectiveTo analyze the impact of oral health conditions on quality of life and daily activities among adolescents according to the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) and its domains.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was based on data from the Brazilian National Oral Health Survey (SB Brasil 2023) and included 8,054 adolescents aged 15 to 19 years from all regions of the country. The outcome was oral health-related quality of life assessed using the OIDP instrument. Associations between OIDP and its domains with the presence of untreated caries, tooth loss, odontalgia, need for prostheses, gingival bleeding, and dental calculus were analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed considering the complex sample design, using the Rao-Scott adjusted F-test and multiple logistic regression considering a 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsA negative impact of oral health on quality of life was observed in 37.2% of adolescents, with a higher frequency among those with lower family income and education level. All oral health problems analyzed showed a significant association with an OIDP≥1. After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, dental pain in the last 6 months was the condition most strongly associated with a negative impact on quality of life (OR=9.06; 95%CI 6.32-13.0), followed by the need for a prosthesis (OR=3.86; 95%CI 2.31-6.43), untreated dental caries (OR=2.39; 95%CI 1.87-3.05), tooth loss (OR=1.56; 95%CI 1.07-2.26), gum bleeding (OR=1.62; 95%CI 1.14-2.29), and dental calculus (OR=1.33; 95%CI 1.03-1.71).
conclusionOral health problems represent a limiting factor in the quality of life and daily activities of Brazilian adolescents.
