Article in Journal of dental research, dental clinics, dental prospects, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Adolescent health reflects both nutritional and oral conditions, which share dietary and behavioral risk factors. In Muslim societies, Islamic boarding schools ( Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 among 85 male santri at an Islamic boarding school in Bogor, Indonesia. BMI was classified according to CDC-2000 growth charts. Dental caries experience was assessed using the WHO DMFT index. Descriptive statistics summarized BMI and DMFT distributions. Associations were evaluated using the chi-squared or Fisher's exact test. Results: Most participants had normal BMI (65.9%), while 18.8% were overweight, and 10.6% were obese. Regarding oral health, 55.3% had very low DMFT scores, and 10.6% had high or very high caries experience. No significant association was observed between BMI and DMFT categories ( Conclusion: Although no significant association was identified, the coexistence of obesity and high caries in a subset of santri indicates a dual public health concern. These findings warrant further investigation and highlight the need for preventive strategies addressing both nutrition and oral health in Islamic boarding school settings.
