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
objectivesTo assess the periodontal status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among postmenopausal women attending a tertiary government hospital.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 266 postmenopausal women visiting a tertiary government hospital. Demographic data, such as age, education level, marital status, hormonal fluctuations, parity, frequency of tooth brushing, and history of recent dental visits were collected. Participants' OHRQoL was assessed using the oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire, and their periodontal status was evaluated using the World Health Organization oral health assessment form for adults.
resultsThe total mean OHIP-14 score among participants was 26.9 ± 8.48, with the majority (57.1%) reporting poor OHRQoL. Further, they had a significantly higher mean number of teeth with pockets and loss of attachment (
conclusionThe mean numbers of teeth with bleeding, as well as teeth with pockets and loss of attachment are significantly associated with OHRQoL in postmenopausal women.
