Impact of School-Based Periodontal Health Education Programs on Gingival Health in Adolescents: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.
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
Background: Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to periodontal diseases due to inadequate oral hygiene practices and hormonal changes during puberty. School-based oral health education programs have emerged as a promising strategy for improving periodontal health by fostering awareness and encouraging positive behavior change. Materials and Methods: A cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted among 480 adolescents aged 13-15 years from eight government schools in an urban district. The schools were randomly assigned into intervention ( Results: At baseline, there was no significant difference between the groups in mean GI and PI scores ( Conclusion: School-based periodontal health education programs significantly improve gingival and plaque scores in adolescents.
