Effect of oral functional exercise combined with psychological intervention on oral frailty in older adults.
Trial report in BMC 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
objectiveTo explore the intervention effect of oral functional exercise combined with psychological intervention on oral frailty in older adults.
methodsNinety-six older adults with oral frailty treated in our hospital from August 2023 to April 2024 were randomly assigned to an observation group or a control group. The control group received routine oral care and health guidance, and the observation group added oral functional exercise combined with psychological intervention. After 3 months of intervention, the two groups were compared in oral function (chewing, swallowing), psychological status (SAS, SDS scores), oral health status, and self-efficacy before and after intervention.
resultsBefore the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in oral functional indicators, SAS and SDS scores, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) scores, or Self-Efficacy Scale for Oral Health (SESS) scores (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the observation group showed superior chewing function, swallowing function, and SESS scores compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The SAS, SDS, and OHIP-14 scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe combined oral functional exercise and psychological intervention effectively improved oral function, alleviated anxiety and depression, and enhanced oral health-related quality of life and self-efficacy among older adults with oral frailty. This intervention provides a feasible approach for managing oral frailty in older adults. Future multicenter studies and long-term follow-up data are needed to further validate its generalizability and sustainability, providing stronger evidence for clinical practice.
