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
Background: Oral frailty is an associated factor for frailty and may increase the likelihood of transitioning from pre-frailty to frailty in older patients. Therefore, this study analyzed factors associated with oral frailty in older hospitalized patients with cancer in Taizhou, China. Methods: We included 190 older patients with cancer who were hospitalized from April to June 2024 were selected by convenience sampling in a tertiary hospital in Taizhou. A general information questionnaire and the Mini Nutritional Assessment - Short Form, Oral Health Assessment Tool and Oral Frailty Index-8 were used for the investigation. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with oral frailty. Results: 190 older in-patients with cancer were included in the study, comprising 111 men and 79 women. The proportion at high risk of oral frailty was 54.7% (men: 57.7% vs. women: 50.6%, Conclusions: Oral frailty was common among older cancer patients. Denture and malnutrition may help identify patients at increased likelihood of oral frailty. Therefore, early identify and appropriate treatment were required given the differences in the associated factors to oral frailty among men and women older cancer patients.
