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
backgroundEating behavior are a broad category influenced by a various personal, social, cultural, environmental, and economic factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the oral hygiene status of school-aged children in relation to their eating behavior and healthy eating self-efficacy.
methodsThe study was carried out with the participation of 225 children aged 7-9 years. Parents carried out the Children's Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ) to assess eating behaviors and provided sociodemographic information. Oral examinations of the children were provided according to plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S), dmft and DMFT and, the Healthy Eating Self-Efficacy Scale (HESES) was administered to the children. For statistical analysis, a consistent partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) technique was utilized.
resultsA statistically significant negative correlation was found between the Healthy Eating Self-Efficacy Scale and the PI, GI, OHI-S, dmfs (p < 0.001) and DMFS (p = 0.002). Emotional undereating significantly negatively affected dmfs (p = 0.021), while emotional overeating had a significant positive effect on DMFS (p = 0.036). None of the eating behavior subgroups in children showed a significant relationship with self-efficacy. Additionally, higher self-efficacy (p = 0.001) and food fussiness (p = 0.001) were found in children from high-income families, while emotional overeating (p < 0.001) and desire to drink (p = 0.009) were observed in children from middle-income families.
conclusionThis study reveals a significant relationship between healthy eating self-efficacy and oral hygiene in children. Higher self-efficacy correlates with better oral health, while emotional eating negatively impacts dental outcomes. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, suggesting that interventions should target self-efficacy and emotional eating to improve both eating behaviors and oral health in school-aged children.
