Comparative assessment of oral health knowledge and dental behavior among individuals with and without hearing impairments in Jordan.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 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
Background: Individuals with hearing impairments face significant barriers in accessing oral health information, which may negatively influence their oral hygiene practices and outcomes. This study aimed to compare oral health knowledge and dental behavior between individuals with and without hearing impairments in Jordan. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 289 participants, comprising 149 individuals with hearing impairments and 140 individuals without hearing impairments. A validated, self-designed closed-ended questionnaire assessed participants' oral health knowledge and behaviors. Convenience sampling was employed to recruit participants from centers associated with hearing impairment. Data were analyzed using SPSS® version 22, with a significance level set at Results: Individuals with hearing impairments demonstrated significantly less knowledge regarding toothbrush hardness, frequency of brushing, the importance of routine dental visits, and recognition of gum disease signs ( Conclusions: The substantial gaps in oral health knowledge and practices among individuals with hearing impairments highlight the need for targeted educational interventions. Culturally sensitive tools, such as visual aids, videos, and tailored oral health programs, could improve hygiene practices, reduce disease risk, and enhance the quality of life in this underserved population.
