Oral health and self-perceived job readiness among socially disadvantaged and unemployed citizens.
Trial report in Acta odontologica Scandinavica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aims of this article are (1) to evaluate the association between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and self-perceived job readiness and (2) to investigate changes in self-perceived job readiness following an oral health promotion intervention. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe first aim was elucidated in a cross-sectional design, and the second through a prospective intervention study. A survey was administered among 273 unemployed vulnerable people in Copenhagen, Denmark. Participants were randomised to either control or intervention in 2018, and follow-up was conducted 7-15 months later. The intervention entailed support for dental care. OHRQoL was measured by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), and self-perceived job readiness was measured using the Employability Indicator Project (BIP) questionnaire.
resultsThe sample reported a high mean OHIP-14 score at baseline (26.9, SD 15.6) and poor OHRQoL was significantly associated with low self-perceived job readiness (rs = -0.15, p = 0.02). The control group reported better job readiness at follow-up compared to the intervention group. However, the effect sizes were small in both groups and no clear pattern was observed.
conclusionsThe results indicate that OHRQoL is linked to self-perceived job readiness. However, the oral health promotion applied in this study did not lead to better self-perceived job readiness. Further research is needed on the effect of oral health promotion interventions on job readiness within socially vulnerable groups.
