Lifestyles associated with complete tooth loss in elderly people in Brazil, 2019.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess types of lifestyle that may contribute to total tooth loss in the elderly.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional and population-based study, having as its target population elderly individuals aged 60 years or older. We used the database of the most recent edition of the National Health Survey, conducted in Brazil in 2019. Initially, the chi-square test was used and then the prevalence ratios were adjusted using the Poisson multiple regression model in order to identify associations between the variables.
resultsThe final sample analyzed consisted of 22,728 elderly individuals. Prevalence of complete tooth loss was 31.7% (95% confidence interval [95%CI] 31.1; 32.3). Multivariate analysis revealed that this condition was higher in females (p-value<0.001; prevalence ratio [PR] 1.05; 95%CI 1.04; 1.07), in the oldest old (p-value<0.001; PR 1.54; 95%CI 1.43; 1.61), in those without formal education (p-value<0.001; PR 1.06; 95%CI 1.04; 1.08), in those without dental insurance (p-value<0.001; PR 1.07; 95%CI 1.05; 1.09), in smokers (p-value<0.001; PR 1.04; 95%CI 1.02; 1.06), in individuals who consume soft drinks with high sugar content (p-value<0.001; PR 1.05; 95%CI 1.03; 1.07) and in those who do not do physical activities (p-value<0.001; PR 1.05; 95%CI 1.03; 1.06).
conclusionWe concluded that complete tooth loss was greater in elderly people with unfavorable socioeconomic conditions, those who smoke, those who consume soft drinks with high sugar content and those who do not do physical activities regularly.
