Association of Ethnic Identity with Oral Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Behavior, and Outcomes on the Navajo Nation.
Trial report in Journal of health care for the poor and underserved, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) experience poor oral health. Children and adults living on the Navajo Nation have a particularly high rate of dental decay. The literature suggests that health outcomes are often associated with the strength of one's ethnic identity. We investigated the association of ethnic identity among Native parents with oral health knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and outcomes. Analyses used baseline data from a randomized controlled trial designed to reduce dental decay among AI/AN preschoolers enrolled in the Navajo Nation Head Start Program. Greater perceived importance of ethnic identity was associated with better oral health knowledge and attitudes but was unassociated with oral health behavior and was linked to worse oral health status. Parents who were better able to speak their tribal language had greater confidence in their ability to manage their children's oral health, engaged in better oral health behavior, and reported better parental oral health status.
