Knowledge and practice on oral hygiene maintenance among medical students in India.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Oral hygiene is vital in preventing dental caries, periodontal diseases and systemic conditions like stroke and heart disease. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate oral health awareness among MBBS students and interns using a pretested, structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test with a significance threshold of 0.05. A significant gender difference was observed in brushing frequency (P = 0.005) and only 36.9% of students reported brushing twice daily. Hence, there is a need to enhance oral health education in medical curricula for effective preventive healthcare.
