Impact of educational video intervention to improve oral health knowledge and beliefs among physicians and nurses.
Trial report 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 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe most prevalent dental diseases have adverse effects on an individual's general health. To address this public health crisis and oral health disparity, collaborative efforts of health professionals are critical for dental disease prevention and optimal oral health. This study evaluated the effect of an educational video intervention on oral health knowledge, beliefs, and practices of physicians and nurses.
methodsThis pre-post interventional study evaluated the immediate effects of a video-based oral health educational intervention given to nurses and physicians in Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to participants to assess their oral health (OH) knowledge, beliefs, and practices of OH care. The study participants (physicians and nurses) were randomly exposed to two intervention groups (video or brochure) after which they responded to a post interventional survey. Means of knowledge and beliefs scores were calculated before and after the intervention. Logistic regression was applied to investigate the factors associated with good knowledge and beliefs after the educational intervention.
resultsA total of 213 healthcare providers of whom 56% were physicians participated in this study. Knowledge of OH improved significantly (p < 0.001) after the intervention and was higher among females compared to males (16.86 to 19.54). The physicians showed more improvement post intervention compared to nurses (19.76 vs. 19.30, respectively) (p < 0.001). The overall belief scores for providing OH education did not change significantly post intervention (p = 0.545). Providing OH care to the patients and conducting an OH screening increased moderately after the intervention (44.6-55.4% and 44.6-55.4%, respectively).
conclusionThe video-based intervention was effective in improving the physicians' and nurses' knowledge, beliefs, and likelihood to incorporate OH care in their current practices. Males, Saudis, working in academia and more work experience were significantly associated with greater odds of having good knowledge after the intervention regardless of its type.
