Development and testing of a patient-centered dental home assessment for low-income families.
Article in Journal of public health dentistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to develop an instrument in English (ENG) and Spanish (SPA) for use in assessing perceptions of dental home characteristics among low-income adults.
methodsAn expert panel selected 21 items from a pool of 81 items mapped to domains in the American Academy of Pediatrics' medical home. Pilot testing with mothers (n = 795) of children in Early Head Start (EHS) resulted in an expanded 36-item scale, which was field-tested in interviews with ENG- (N
resultsA three-factor CFA model with 10 items was retained for its close fit for all three subgroups. Invariance tests found the two ENG subgroups to be homogenous and were combined. Several item and factor parameters in the SPA group differed from the combined ENG group. The proposed dental home measure demonstrated good known-group validity in that people who used the same dental office reported better dental care experiences.
conclusionsAn instrument to measure the dental home concept among low-income adults was developed with three domains (accessible-comprehensive, compassionate, and health literate care) that demonstrated good validity and reliability.
