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 assess the association between the use and need for dental prostheses and the presence of oral health impacts on daily activities, measured using the Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) instrument, among older adults in Brazil.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2023 Brazilian National Oral Health Survey (SB Brasil), including 9,696 individuals aged 65 to 74 years, with clinical and sociodemographic information. The dependent variable was the presence of oral health impacts on daily activities, assessed by the OIDP and defined as the report of at least one negative impact. Independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, use and need for dental prostheses, self-perceived need for prosthetic replacement, edentulism, and implant-based rehabilitation. Descriptive analyses and Poisson regression with robust variance were performed, accounting for the complex sampling design, and Prevalence Ratios (PR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI) were estimated).
resultsOral health impacts on daily activities were most frequent for eating (21.0%), smiling (16.1%), and emotional status (13.3%). Female gender (PR 1.07; 95%CI 1.01-1.14), self-perceived need to use or replace prostheses (PR 1.32; 95%CI 1.24-1.41), and need for upper prosthesis (PR 1.18; 95%CI 1.10-1.27) were associated with higher prevalence of impacts, while the use of implant-supported prostheses was a protective factor (PR 0.90; 95%CI 0.83-0.97).
conclusionProsthetic status is central to the relationship between oral health and quality of life in older adults, reinforcing the need for public policies that expand access and equity in prosthetic rehabilitation.
