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
objectiveExamine the association between perceived racial discrimination and children's oral health outcomes by race-ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES).
methodsUsing the National Survey of Children's Health (2016-2022), we examined the relationship between perceived racial discrimination (caregiver-reported child exposure) and two outcomes: a child's receipt of a dental visit and the presence of any oral health problem in the past year. Logistic regression models were estimated, stratified by race-ethnicity (Black, Hispanic, White), and adjusted for SES using the federal poverty level (FPL). We also interacted perceived racial discrimination and FPL to observe how associations differ by SES.
resultsPerceived racial discrimination was associated with lower rates of dental visits for White and Hispanic children, with no significant association for Black children. Perceived racial discrimination was associated with a higher likelihood of having an oral health problem for all three racial-ethnic groups. In interaction models, associations with dental visits were inconsistent. The association between perceived racial discrimination and having an oral health problem in the past year was primarily isolated to the lowest SES strata (< 200% FPL), with higher likelihoods of having an oral health problem for all three racial-ethnic groups among those who perceived racial discrimination.
conclusionsPerceived racial discrimination is associated with worse oral health and inconsistently with having a dental visit. The stronger association with oral health problems among children in the lowest SES strata highlights the need for targeted interventions addressing both racial discrimination and SES disparities to improve child oral health outcomes.
