1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 AND

objectivesThe role of parents and the family in promoting children's oral health is increasingly acknowledged in the dental literature. This study aimed to investigate twelve-year changes in pre-schoolers' oral health and parental involvement in children's dental care using data from two repeated cross-sectional surveys. The objectives were (1) to assess the temporal changes in children's dental health status and oral health-related behaviours, (2) to examine temporal changes in parental attitudes toward their children's oral health care, and (3) to analyze the associations between observed changes. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwo identical cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2010/2011 (

resultsSignificant positive changes (

conclusionsIt was concluded that changes in parental attitudes played a crucial role in driving positive trends in oral health-related behaviours, which likely contributed to the improvement of dental health in children. Therefore, understanding and influencing parental attitudes can be essential for promoting good oral health skills and good oral health in young children.
