Oral Health in Young Adults: The Impact of Socioeconomic Factors and Health Literacy.

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 diseases remain prevalent, although most of them can be prevented. Oral health inequities represent a critical problem of social injustice worldwide. Health literacy has emerged as a potential determinant of oral health disparities, comparable in impact to socioeconomic factors. This study explored the impact of socioeconomic factors and health literacy on oral health in young adults in Norway using data from the third wave of the Fit Futures study (n = 705), which included questionnaires and clinical oral examinations. Measures included self-reported oral health, oral health-related quality of life (OIDP-8), caries experience (DMFT), gingivitis (BOP), health literacy (HLS-Q12) and socioeconomic factors. Multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that lower health literacy was associated with poorer self-reported oral health (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.93-0.98) and lower oral health-related quality of life (OR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90-0.98). Higher health literacy was associated with a greater caries experience (OR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09). Lower educational attainment was associated with less favorable outcomes across all oral health measures (OR: 1.7-2.6, all
