Conceptualizing the Child's Right to Oral Health: A Rights-Based Approach to Dental Caries.
Article in Health and human rights, 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
Dental caries is the most common noncommunicable disease globally and is a substantial burden for both adults and children, yet it remains largely neglected. The World Health Organization recognized the right to oral health in 2024. This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for children's right to oral health based on the provisions of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It demonstrates that although human rights treaties do not explicitly recognize the right to oral health, oral health, and particularly dental caries, is a matter of human rights. The first part of the paper clarifies how dental caries is a child rights matter, while the second part proposes a rights-based approach to the regulation of its risk factors.
