A Visual Metaphor for Oral Health Education in Hemodialysis Patients: A Pilot Study.

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
aimsThe aim of this study was the comparison of PRISM (Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self-Measure) with an interview-based oral health education during a 4-week follow-up. METHODS AND
resultsPatients under chronic hemodialysis (HD) were recruited and randomly assigned either to PRISM or a control group. At baseline, after the first intervention (T1), after 2 weeks (second intervention, T2) and after 4 weeks (third intervention, T3), three parameters were evaluated: gingival inflammation by papilla bleeding index (PBI), patient perspective (specific questionnaire), Oral health impact profile (OHIP-G5). Fifteen patients each group finished the follow-up. In PRISM group, neither after two (T2, p = 0.23) nor after 4 weeks (T3, p = 0.63), significant differences in PBI were found. In the Control, PBI values significantly increased between baseline and T3 (0.71 ± 0.52 vs. 0.95 ± 0.54, p = 0.02). Mainly non-significant changes in the specific questionnaire were observed. The sum score of OHIP-G5 did not differ between time points. Regarding the question whether the taste has worsened, a decrease was found in the control between T0 and T2 (p = 0.04). In the PRISM group, this decrease was apparent between T0 and T2 (p = 0.04) as well as between T0 and T3 (p = 0.04).
conclusionOral health education in HD patients appears challenging and offers a need for novel patient-centered approaches.
