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
purposeThe aim of this study was to compare four different dietary assessment methods used for evaluation of cariogenic diet in children 2-15 years old.
methodsA total of 247 children, 2-15 years old, were recruited from the daycares, the paediatric and the orthodontic clinic of the University of Athens and the Airforce Hospital. Data were collected via questionnaires, referred to children's oral health behaviours, and a 24-h diet recall. Diet was analysed using a Minute Acid Score (MAS), a Diet Score (DS) based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire, a Food Frequency Questionnaire Score, and the mobile application (APP) "Dental Diet". The children were clinically examined by a calibrated paediatric dentist to assess dental caries experience (dmft/DMFT- ICDAS criteria). Pearson correlation and logistic regression models were used to detect relations between the different dietary analysis methods and dental caries.
resultsOdds Ratio for caries in all age groups was 1.12-1.22 for the APP, 1.01 for MAS, 0.87-1.19 for FFQS and 0.86-1.49 for DS. Only the APP was found to be able to detect diet's cariogenicity in correlation to dental caries (p < 0.001) in all age groups. FFQS and DS were correlated to dental caries at a statistically significant level (p < 0.05) only in preschool children. In the comparison of the two analysis methods of the 24 h recall, the MAS and the APP were in agreement in all age groups.
conclusionsThe results of the present study suggest that the mobile application was able to detect cariogenic diet in children and can be a useful tool in dental practice.
