1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Cognitive impairment is a growing concern in rapidly aging societies, including China, and oral health has been proposed as a modifiable correlate of cognitive aging; however, few studies compare distinct oral health domains within the same older population or identify the subgroups in which associations are strongest. We analyzed data from 1707 community-dwelling adults aged 55+ in the 2022 Lifelong Learning and Productive Aging Survey of Shanghai (LEAP-SH) study. Cognitive problems were measured with the Ascertain Dementia 8 (AD8) total score (0-8; higher = worse). Self-reported oral health, oral health knowledge, and oral hygiene behavior were each standardized and entered in separate models adjusted for sociodemographic and health covariates; interaction models tested effect modification by six sociodemographic moderators. All three domains were associated with lower AD8 scores, most strongly oral health status (β = -0.26;
