Mother's Experience of Conflict Within Their Family Social Network when Advocating for Children's oral Health.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2023. 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
objectivesExamine whether mothers perceived that child oral health was a source of conflict in family relationships.
methodsThis cross-sectional qualitative study consisted of 126 semi-structured interviews with mothers of 3-5 year-old children from West Virginia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Interviews consisted of open-ended questions on the mother's social relationships that affected child dental visits, oral hygiene, and diet. The data were analyzed using template analysis.
resultsOver 85% (n = 111/126) of mothers reported interpersonal conflict in their familial relationships related to child oral health. Most (78%) mothers reported conflict with their partners and 58% of mothers reported conflict with the child's grandparents. Conflicts primarily centered around keeping a consistent oral hygiene routine for the child and the promotion of a low-cariogenic diet. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: Mothers perceived child oral health promotion as a source of conflict in the family. This study suggests that identifying effective strategies to reduce conflict with caretakers are indicated. Oral health professionals can take an active role not only in communicating with the mother, but also with other caretaking adults in the family to promote oral health practices that benefit all children.
