Exploring the Link Between Mothers' Dental Health and Their Children's Cavity Status.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Aim: The study aims to assess the correlation between maternal and child oral health practices, particularly focusing on the dietary intake of sugars and acids and their caries status in a rural Gujarat population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 68 children (aged 6-12 years) and their 52 mothers. Caries status was assessed using WHO criteria (2013) and DMFT/dmft indices. Correlations between maternal and child caries indices were analyzed using statistical methods. Results: Moderate correlations were observed between maternal and child caries indices, especially in the D-component and combined DMFT/dmft indices. Limited restorative dental care access was evident in children, reflected by a lower F-component. Conclusion: Maternal oral health behaviors and caries status significantly influence children's caries outcomes. Interventions focusing on family-based dietary education and improved pediatric dental care access are essential.
