Development and Validation of a Comprehensive Oral Health Knowledge and Behavior Scale.
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: Oral health knowledge and behaviors are crucial for preventing oral diseases; however, existing tools lack comprehensiveness and standardization. Objective: This research aimed to develop and validate the Oral Health Knowledge and Behavior Scale (OHKBS), a comprehensive tool to assess oral health awareness and practices. Methods: A 35-item scale was constructed through literature review, expert consultation, and pilot testing. Psychometric evaluation was conducted using data from 500 participants. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and ICC, while validity was established through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and criterion validity testing. Results: The OHKBS demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.92; ICC = 0.87) and a four-factor structure explaining 75% of the variance. Criterion validity showed a strong correlation ( Conclusion: The OHKBS is a reliable, valid, and comprehensive tool suitable for diverse research and public health applications.
