Development of a nomogram for prediction of occlusal dentin caries in Norwegian children at risk: a 36-month follow-up study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03315312 (FISSURE-Project. Improved Dental Decay Management in Dental Service for Children), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to develop and internally validate a nomogram predictive model for occlusal dentin caries development on first permanent molars (FPMs) over 36 months in children at risk in Norway.
methodsFor a practice-based split-mouth randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03315312, retrospectively registered in October 2017) comparing effectiveness of caries control methods (fissure sealants versus fluoride varnish), children aged 6 to 10 years considered at high caries risk (D

conclusionIn this study, based on 36-month follow-up data in children at risk, we have developed and internally validated a nomogram to predict dentin caries on occlusal surfaces of FPMs. The findings suggest that nomogram approach may be a useful visual aid in clinical practice to facilitate informed decision-making; however, external validation in a large cohort study, transportability and applicability to different settings are needed.
