Dental neglect in children and adolescents: protocol for a scoping review on strategies for identification and prevention.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
introductionDental neglect in children and adolescents is a form of child maltreatment and can be an indicator of other forms of maltreatment. Early identification of dental neglect is essential to initiate preventive interventions and connect families to appropriate health and social services to avoid further harm and to reduce negative impacts on child development and well-being. Articles that systematically synthesise and compare models for early detection, intersectoral cooperation and care for dental neglect have not been published yet. This scoping review aims to map the evidence on strategies for the identification and prevention of dental neglect in children and adolescents. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study is designed as a scoping review. Based on the Population, Concept and Context (PCC) scheme, the databases PubMed, PsycInfo and Scopus are searched for publications before July 2023. Publications in all languages will be considered in case an abstract in English or German is available. The review will include articles reporting on strategies for identification and prevention related to dental neglect in children and adolescents as conducted in health service and community settings. Data from included articles will be extracted to describe and categorise the available evidence. The review will follow recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual on scoping reviews and the Critical Appraisal Tool for Health Promotion and Prevention Reviews (CAT HPPR). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required, as no personal data will be collected in this literature-based study. The study's findings will be disseminated through conference presentations, scientific publications and stakeholder meetings.
