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

backgroundOral health is recognized as integral to general health and impaired dentition status may affect physical performance among older adults. This study evaluated the longitudinal association between clinical and self-reported oral health measures and physical performance (outcome) in Brazilian older adults.

methodsThis was a longitudinal study that used data from the second (year 2006), third (year 2010) and fourth (year 2015) waves of the Health Well-being and Aging Study conducted in Brazil. Physical performance, evaluated using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), was the dependent variable. Independent variables of interest were the number of teeth, presence of periodontal pocket, use of dental prostheses, and poor perceived oral health. The association between oral health measures and physical function was analyzed using generalized estimating equations with an ordinal regression model.

resultsIn the total sample, every additional tooth was associated with a greater chance of achieving a higher score on the SPPB test. Individuals wearing dental prostheses had higher chances of having higher scores than those not wearing them. In the analyses for the dentate sample, the presence of a periodontal pocket was not associated with SPPB and the increase in the number of teeth increased the chance of achieving a higher score.

conclusionA greater number of teeth, and using dentures, were associated with higher physical performance. Periodontal disease was not associated with the outcome.
