Oral health assessment in asthmatic children: An observational study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Dental caries and bronchial asthma are related, but the effect of asthma severity and medication on oral health has conflicting evidence in the literature. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate oral health indices in the outpatient Department of Dentistry, over a period of 2 years, in 1-17-year-olds undergoing treatment for asthma. Out of 168 children (115 male, 53 female), 13-17 year olds showed highest DMFT and Plaque index. Out of 77.5% of children with greater severity of asthma and duration >1yr, 61% children showed poor oral hygiene and signs of gingival inflammation. Children with chronic asthma a year ago had a higher mean deft/DMFT and also, significant proportional increase in mean deft/DMFT with age was observed. Oral hygiene was poorer and proportional to caries incidence and inhaler usage under-scoring importance of oral health maintenance after inhaler usage.
