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 evolution of population-based epidemiological surveys in oral health (saúde bucal) in Brazil, and implications for the 2030 edition of the SB Brasil project, of the Ministry of Health.
methodsThis is an essay problematizing methodological and management aspects, and their implications for fieldwork, of population epidemiological surveys in oral health carried out in Brazil in different years, from 1986 to 2023.
resultsMethodological and management decisions of the editions of the SB Brasil project, including 2023, are analyzed, focusing on the inclusion and exclusion of variables, such as dental fluorosis and the PUFA index, which registers the presence of seriously damaged teeth and which have visibly compromised pulp (P), ulcers caused by fragments of loose teeth (U), fistula (F) and abscess (A). The list of variables and the sampling plans of the nationwide oral health surveys carried out in 1986, 1996, 2003, 2010, and 2023 are problematized. The consequences of considering only clinical interest as a criterion for inclusion and exclusion of variables from epidemiological survey protocols are discussed, and the difficulties for the calibration of examiners are addressed, even when standardized methods are used.
conclusionThe next editions of the SB Brasil institutional project, of the Ministry of Health, will start from a relevant accumulation of knowledge and practices resulting from the Brazilian experience with oral health epidemiology, within the scope of SUS, developed in the second half of the 20th century and the first decades of the 21st century.
