Factors Associated With Nutritional Status in Patients With Removable Dentures: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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 Tooth loss can impair masticatory function and may subsequently result in malnutrition. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with controlling nutritional status (CONUT) scores, which assess malnutrition risk, in patients with removable dentures. Materials and methods In this cross-sectional study, data were obtained from a consecutive sampling of 192 patients (mean age 72.7 ± 8.4 years, 73 males and 119 females) with removable dentures. Variables assessed included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), Eichner index, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), social background (frequency of nutrition-related media consumption, level of attention to diet, economic status, educational background, and whether the patient lived alone), denture quality assessed by dentists, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP), masticatory performance score based on the glucose concentration of comminuted gummy jelly, energy intake based on the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BHDQ), and the CONUT score as determined from blood test results. Multiple regression analysis was performed with malnutrition risk level (CONUT 0 as low-risk, CONUT 1 and 2 as mild-risk, and CONUT 3 and 4 as moderate-risk) as the dependent variable and the 14 items aforementioned as independent variables. Results The number of patients at low, mild, and moderate risk was 67, 116, and 9, respectively. Regression analysis revealed that being male (
