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
objectiveTo identify factors associated with the use of dental implants in Brazilian adults and older adults.
methodsThis cross-sectional analytical study utilized population-based data from the 2023 National Oral Health Survey. The sample comprised adults (35-44 years) and older adults (65-74 years). Two dichotomous outcomes were modeled: self-reported implant use (yes/no) and clinically observed presence of implants (none/one or more). Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were estimated using multiple logistic regression for complex samples, with demographic and socioeconomic factors, type of dental service used, and number of missing teeth as independent variables.
resultsThe prevalence of dental implants ranged from approximately one-tenth to one-fifth of the sample, depending on the method of identification. In the adjusted analysis for self-reported use, older adults, individuals with higher income, those who used private dental services, and those who sought care for treatment or rehabilitation had significantly higher odds of reporting implant use. Conversely, when analyzing clinically observed implants, only the number of permanent teeth lost showed a significant association.
conclusionThe use of dental implants in the Brazilian population reflects both the accessibility of dental services and the clinical need for rehabilitation. Using different identification methods provides a more comprehensive understanding of the distribution of implants across the country. These findings can allow the refinement of clinical and organizational criteria for the provision of implant-supported oral rehabilitation within the public system, thereby promoting greater equity and sustainability.
