Prevention of Early Childhood Caries from the First Level of Care: An Interdisciplinary Approach and Motivational Communication.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is considered one of the most prevalent chronic diseases globally, particularly affecting children in socially vulnerable situations. Its significance goes beyond oral health, undermining overall development and quality of life and placing a considerable economic burden on health systems. Given the inadequacy of conventional curative approaches, this manuscript proposes a preventive model based on primary care, structured around an interdisciplinary approach and family-based communication strategies. It analyzes, based on scientific evidence, the fundamental pillars of controlling dental caries in children: promoting health from pregnancy, early education in oral hygiene, and motivational interviews, particularly relevant in contexts with structural and cultural barriers. The role of non-dental health personnel takes center stage in early detection, education, and timely referral. The proposal promotes equitable, sustainable care based on prevention from early childhood, seeking to transform oral health care into a more efficient, inclusive, and long-term oriented paradigm.
