Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.
Review question
| Element | Planned (methods) | Found (results) |
|---|---|---|
| Population | Adult individuals aged 19-60 years; observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, cohort; ecological) | 61 observational studies in adults aged 19-60 y (45 cross-sectional, 14 prospective cohort, 1 case-control, 1 ecological); 25 studies contributed to the meta-analysis and meta-regression |
| Intervention | Worse socioeconomic condition (socioeconomic indicators: schooling, income, SES, HDI, occupation, community indicators such as the Gini coefficient) | Worse socioeconomic indicators (most frequent: schooling, income, SES); country-level HDI, schooling, university education, and SES quantified for the meta-analysis |
| Comparison | Better socioeconomic condition | Better socioeconomic indicators (reference) |
| Outcomes | Dental caries on permanent teeth (DMFT: decayed, missing, filled teeth) | Caries experience DMFT (pooled mean). Overall pooled DMFT 11.49 (95% CI 9.96 to 13.03), 25 studies, I2=99.9%. Very high heterogeneity throughout (I2 96.1% to 99.9%). Meta-regression: only low SES was associated with higher DMFT (adjusted coefficient 10.35, p=0.050; unadjusted p=0.031) |
| Study designs | Observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, cohort); no trials expected; reviews screened for references; no language or year restriction | Observational studies published 1975-2016; predominantly English (96.7%); conducted in multiple countries; most studies (86.9%) moderate quality on Newcastle-Ottawa (scores 5-9) |
| Timing | Not specified | Mostly cross-sectional (point prevalence); publication years 1975-2016 |
