Cluster randomized control trial of nursing home residents' oral hygiene following the Mouth Care Matters education program for certified nursing assistants.
Trial report in Special care in dentistry : official publication of the American Association of Hospital Dentists, the Academy of Dentistry for the Handicapped, and the American Society for Geriatric Dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
aimsThe purpose of this study was to determine if the number of certified nursing assistants (CNAs) trained with the Mouth Care Matters (MCM) oral health educational program had an impact on nursing facility (NF) resident oral health. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree NFs participated in a cluster randomized control trial. In NF-A: all CNAs were offered the MCM program, NF-B: 3 CNAs were offered the MCM program, and NF-C: Control (no CNAs were offered the MCM program). Demographic information, systemic health data, and oral health data at baseline, 3-month, and 6-month intervals were collected and analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon signed-rank and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. A total of 24 dentate residents participated in this study. Plaque control record scores for NF-A were significantly reduced compared to NF-B and NF-C (P < .001 and P = .002 respectively) and gingival bleeding index for NF-A were significantly reduced compared to NF-B and NF-C (P = .002 and P < .001 respectively).
conclusionIncreasing the number of CNA's trained in the Mouth Care Matters educational program positively impacted NF residents' oral hygiene.
