Perceived oral health and access to care among men with a history of incarceration.
Article in Canadian journal of dental hygiene : CJDH = Journal canadien de l'hygiene dentaire : JCHD, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objectives: To explore the perceptions of oral health and access to care experiences of men with a history of incarceration and to identify factors contributing to current oral health inequities within their community. Methods: A qualitative approach was used via focus group discussions among 18 men with a history of incarceration and 10 staff members of a non-profit organization working with individuals who are involved in or at risk of involvement with the criminal justice system. All discussions were audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was undertaken using Results: The participants ranged in age from 29 years to 69 years, came from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, and had different prison setting experiences. Five major themes emerged: not on the radar, stigma of incarceration, being shot down, caught in the system, and institutional conditioning. Conclusions: The personal backgrounds, experiences with health and dental care during prison time, and the unique challenges faced by men with a history of incarceration influenced their perceptions and their ability to access dental services. Dental professionals can help to change these perceptions and experiences by creating a safe space for these individuals to access and receive care comfortably.
