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

Gastroesophageal reflux disease creates a persistently acidic oral environment that compromises salivary protective mechanisms and promotes dental erosion. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate salivary pH and buffering capacity in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and their association with dental erosion compared to healthy controls. Hence, a total of 120 participants (60 GERD patients and 60 controls) underwent salivary analysis and clinical assessment using the Basic Erosive Wear Examination index. GERD patients demonstrated significantly lower salivary pH and buffering capacity along with higher prevalence and severity of dental erosion (p<0.001). Impaired salivary protective factors in GERD patients highlight the importance of early diagnosis and preventive strategies to reduce erosion risk.
