Communication strategies to encourage child participation in an oral health promotion session: An exemplar video observational study.
Observational study in Health expectations : an international journal of public participation in health care and health policy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe oral health promotion sessions for young children and parents in a clinical setting pose challenges to the dental team.
aimTo apply PaeD-TrICS (Paediatric dental triadic interaction coding scheme) to investigate the interaction of child, parent and dental nurse and determine the effect of nurse and parental behaviours on child participation within an oral health promotion session.
methodA video observational study was applied. The sample consisted of a dental nurse and 22 children aged 2-5 years in a general dental practice in Scotland. Behaviours were catalogued with time stamps using PaeD-TrICS. Analysis of behavioural sequences with child participation as the dependent variable was conducted using multilevel modelling.
resultsChildren varied significantly in their participation rate. The statistical model explained 28% of the variance. The older the child and longer consultations significantly increased child participation. Both nurse and parental behaviour had immediate influence on child participation. Parental facilitation had a strong moderating effect on the influence of the nurse on child participation.
conclusionsChild participation was dependent on nurse and parent encouragement signalling an important triadic communication process. The coding scheme and analysis illustrates an important tool to investigate these advisory sessions designed for delivering tailored messages to young children and parents. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The dental staff, child patients and their parents were involved closely in the conduct and procedures of the present study.
