Changes in Parental Perceptions of Their Care of Their Children's Oral Health From Age 1 to 4 Years.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
introductionIn this 3-year longitudinal study, parent/child attended 3 dental visits and in between, parents were called every 4 months and asked if their child had visited the dentist and if fluoride varnish had been applied.
methodsObjectives were to assess changes in parents' perceptions of how well they do in taking care of their children's teeth and/or gums across these 3 time points (at age 1, 2.5, and 4 years), assess differences in parents' perceptions of how well they do taking care of their children's teeth and/or gums versus taking care of their children's medical health, and determine factors associated with parental perceptions of how well they do in taking care of the children's teeth and/or gums longitudinally.
resultsParticipant pairs (1325) were enrolled and over time there was a significant improvement in parental perceptions of their job taking care of their children's teeth and/or gums, increasing from 86% perceiving it to be excellent/very good/good at their child's 1 year of age to 92% at child's age 4 years. The estimated odds of parents perceiving they provided excellent/very good/good versus fair/poor care for the children's teeth and/or gums were higher for those who cleaned and checked inside the children's mouth and/or gums daily (odds ratio 4.74) or took their children to the dentist yearly or twice yearly (odds ratio; 2.73).
conclusionsParents' perceptions of the care of their children's teeth and/or gums improved over time. Parents consistently perceived that they provided better medical care than dental care for their child.
