Do socio-economic circumstances affect oral health related quality of life?
Article in Evidence-based dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Design This study investigates the influence of socioeconomic inequalities on Brazilian adolescents' oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) as measured by the Child Perceptions Questionnaire for 11- to 14-year-old children (CPQ11-14) over time using a cohort study design.Cohort Selection The initial 1,134 participants for this study were recruited using two stage random sampling. Of these, 747 remained at the two-year follow-up.Data Analysis Multi-level linear regression was performed on socioeconomic factors, clinical variables, and CPQ11-14 scores at the two timepoints.Results Lower school neighbourhood and household income, and maternal education are associated with worse OHRQoL over time in adolescents. Other predictors shown to be associated with worse OHRQoL over time include being female, having been seen by a dentist for toothache, having caries and having malocclusion.Conclusions Adolescents from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to have worse OHRQoL over time than their peers from high socioeconomic groups. Other factors shown to be associated with worse OHRQoL over time include being female, having been seen by a dentist for toothache, having caries and having malocclusion.
