Assessment of oral morbidity and self rated health in the Indian geriatric population with a propensity score matched approach.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
The association between various diseases in the elderly and self-rated health (SRH) has been investigated in many prior studies. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between oral health and SRH among the geriatric Indian population. The current study used data from the Longitudinal Study of Ageing in India (LASI), conducted during 2017-2018. Our research included 31,228 individuals aged ≥ 60 in the LASI analysis. The present study used univariate and bivariate analyses, including the chi-square test, binary logistic regression, and propensity matching score to accomplish the research objectives. Nearly 88% of the elderly population were exposed to poor oral health status. One-fourth of the older people had poor SRH. The elderly with poor oral health status had a higher prevalence of SRH compared to their counterparts. Propensity score matching (PSM) also showed that the likelihood of experiencing poor SRH exceeded by 5% points among the elderly with poor oral health compared to their counterparts. Our study's results demonstrated a higher prevalence of oral morbidities among the Indian elderly. It also established a significant and robust association of poor oral health status with poor SRH.
