Longitudinal Association of Health Literacy with Parental Oral Health Behavior.
Trial report in Health literacy research and practice, 2021. 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
backgroundPrior studies suggest that parents with limited health literacy (HL) may be less likely to engage in oral health practices known to protect children's oral health. Earlier work has relied on cross-sectional data, however, so it is unclear whether HL influences parental behavior or is merely correlated with it.
objectiveWe sought to clarify the impact of HL on subsequent adherence to parental oral health practices.
methodsThis secondary analysis used survey data from a randomized controlled trial designed to reduce dental decay in American Indian children ( KEY
resultsHL had significant direct effects on knowledge and specific beliefs (i.e., self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers), but not on behavior. HL had significant indirect effects on beliefs-except perceived susceptibility-through knowledge. HL had significant indirect effects on behavior, through knowledge and beliefs. Both HL and knowledge had significant total effects on subsequent parental oral health behavior.
conclusionsHL influenced behavior measured 3 years later through its impact on parental oral health knowledge and beliefs. Our results highlight the importance of addressing HL in development of oral health promotion efforts aimed at protecting the teeth of young Native children.
