Home-care aides' self-perception of oral health-care provision competency for community-dwelling older people.
Article in International dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 investigate the circumstances in which home-care aides (HAs) provide oral health care to homebound patients and to examine the degree of comfort and knowledge that HAs have regarding their own skills in providing oral health care.
methodsSeven home-care facilities in central Taiwan consented to participate in this cross-sectional study. The participants were selected through convenience sampling. A total of 312 effective responses were obtained (the effective response rate was 64.0%). SPSS, version 17, was used to perform statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis.
resultsOral health-care work had a minimal impact on the psychological burden of the HAs. However, factors affecting the self-perception of the HAs regarding their competency in oral health-care provision included 'whether oral health care is a part of home care' (β = -0.195, P = 0.006), 'whether patients had difficulty chewing' (β = -0.178, P = 0.001), 'vomiting during oral health care' (β = 0.133, P = 0.001), 'having HA certification' (β = 0.120, P = 0.030), 'whether premeal oral exercises were performed' (β = 0.141, P = 0.012), 'finger biting during the provision of oral care' (β = -0.115, P = 0.039) and 'time constraints for provision of care' (β = 0.143, P = 0.042).
conclusionsEnhancing HAs' self-perception of their competency in oral health-care provision can help develop in-service training courses focused on oral health care for older adults, thereby further strengthening HAs' competency in oral health-care provision.
