Different dimensions of oral health literacy and tooth avulsion management: pre-post study with schoolteachers.
Article in Brazilian oral research, 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
Oral health literacy (OHL) may play a crucial role for managing traumatic dental injuries. In this pre-post study, the effect of the different dimensions of OHL on the efficacy of using an information leaflet (IL for managing permanent tooth avulsion ) was assessed in elementary schoolteachers. Functional OHL was measured using the Brazilian version of the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry (BREALD-30), while interactive OHL was assessed with the Oral Health Literacy Adult Questionnaire (BOHL-AQ). Knowledge scores (KS) on avulsion management were collected at three intervals: before reading the IL (baseline), immediately post-intervention (Phase I), and 60 days post-intervention (Phase II). The effect on OHL was assessed by comparing KS means between Phase I/Baseline (acquisition) and Phases II/I (retention). Participants with high OHL/BOHL had a greater difference in mean KS values between Phase I/baseline, while those with high OHL/BREALD-30 showed a smaller difference between phases II/I. Different dimensions of OHL impacted the effectiveness of an educational intervention on managing permanent tooth avulsion with use of a leaflet.
