Reliability generalization meta-analysis of Cronbach's alpha of the oral impacts on daily performance (OIDP) questionnaire.
Synthesis in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the pooled estimates of Cronbach's alpha of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) questionnaire and explore the moderators that could have influenced the overall estimate. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic search of common databases such as PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and CINAHL was performed from inception till 13th December 2024. Studies in English and those that reported Cronbach's alpha values for the OIDP questionnaire were included. Studies reported as letters, conference proceedings, or abstracts; secondary analysis of the previous data; studies with alpha values reported for pilot studies; modified versions of the OIDP questionnaires; induced reliability estimates; retracted articles; short communications; and commentaries were excluded. Two review authors independently screened the publications. The information collected included year of publication, country, sample size, age, sex distribution, target population, language of administration, mode of administration, study setting, study design, patient selection, Cronbach's alpha, and the number of items in the questionnaire. The risk of bias assessment was performed via the COSMIN checklist. Reliability Generalization Meta-analysis was performed via the random effects model (restricted maximum likelihood method) to obtain a pooled untransformed Cronbach's alpha.
resultsA total of 1069 publications were available for screening, and 54 publications yielded 63 estimates with a sample size of 92,564 (sample size range: 47-12647). The overall pooled Cronbach's alpha was 0.82 (95% CI = 0.8-0.84), with high heterogeneity (I
conclusionThe overall estimate of the Cronbach alpha for OIDP questionnaire was above the accepted benchmark. There was no effect of moderators such as sex, age, language, population type, continent, or mode of administration on the overall estimate.
