Associations between self-reported oral health and incident stroke: a prospective analysis of the UK Biobank.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. 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
background and purposeThis study aims to explore whether different types of oral conditions are associated with incident stroke risk. METHODS AND
resultsThis cohort study included 476,868 individuals without outcome events at baseline, multivariable models were constructed using Cox proportional hazard regression to assess the association between different oral conditions and the incidence of stroke, ischemic stroke (IS) and myocardial infarction (MI). Our fully adjusted model showed that individuals with painful gums [HRpainful gums: 1.31 (1.06, 1.63)], loose teeth [HRloose teeth: 1.45 (1.20, 1.77)] and dentures [HRdentures: 1.23 (1.12, 1.36)] have increased risk for stroke incidence.
conclusionsIndividuals with painful gums, loose teeth and dentures have increased risk for stroke, IS and MI incidence, this study helps to identify high-risk stroke participants.
