From: A dental myth bites the dust – no observable relation between the incidence of dental abscess and the weather and lunar phase: an ecological study

Figure 2

Relationship between the OA incidence and mean daily barometric pressure. The mean odontogenic abscess (OA) incidence per equidistant air pressure (hPa) interval is indicated. The interval lengths were chosen arbitrarily to simplify delineation. A statistically significant (p = 0.001) but weak correlation was observed, but the small correlation coefficient (rho = -0.204) does not support a sound relationship.
