Mother's Characteristics and Socioeconomic Status as Possible Risk Factors for Children's Caries in Jordan.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Clinical oral health status of children affects their health-related quality of life. A major determinant of oral health is early childhood caries, which possesses a negative effect. Objective: The primary objective of the study was to examine the association between socioeconomic status and different mother's characteristics and the risk of dental caries in children using the decay missing filled (DMF) score as an indicator. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study that was in the pediatric dental clinic in Hashem Ibn Al-Hussein medical military hospital in Jordan. Pearson correlation was used to examine associations between two continuous variables. Linear regression was used to detect variables that might predict the decayed missing filled teeth (dmft) score of the child. Results: A total of 264 children were enrolled in the study. Average age of children was 4.80 ± 1.99 years, and average mothers' age was 32.74 ± 5.68. Mothers had an average DMFT score of 8.84 ± 5.39, while children had an average dmft score of 6.17 ± 4.82. There was no association between the mother's age and the dmft score of the child (Pearson correlation = 0.08, and Conclusion: Socioeconomic status of the family, mother's habits, dental hygiene, and education level are important factors that influence the child's oral health. Strategies that focus on children with these characteristics can help them achieve better oral health.
