Oral health related quality of life and determinant factors in patients with head and neck cancer.

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
backgroundThe present study aimed to measure the impact of oral health on the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer. MATERIAL AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 130 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer at two medical centers. Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Oral Health Impact Profile - 14 (OHIP-14). Clinical aspects, cancer staging, and treatment approach were also investigated. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric tests were used for statistical analysis, followed by Poisson regression analysis (with robust error variance), to associate the OHIP-14 scores with independent variables.
resultsThe OHIP-14 presented good internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.861). The mean score obtained was 19.52 (±11.79). Physical pain (3.70±2.44), physical disability (3.26±2.62) and functional limitation (3.24±2.45) were ranked as the main factors affecting the quality of life. Patients non-Caucasians (PR = 1.30; IC 95% = 1.07-1.58; p = 0.009), widowers (PR = 1.36; IC 95% = 1.13-1.64; p = 0.001), diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (PR = 1.28; IC 95% = 1.05-1.58; p = 0.017) and with temporomandibular pain (PR = 1.31; IC 95% = 1.08-1.60; p = 0.007) were more likely to exhibit lower rates of quality of life.
conclusionsThe results showed a high impact of the oral health in the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer was observed. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics can exert influence on the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer.
