The Effect of Personalized Oral Health Education on Oral Hygiene Behavior and Periodontal Health: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.
Review in International journal of dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aims: The benefits of personalized oral health education on periodontal health are still controversial. This study aims to systematically evaluate the impact of personalized oral health education on periodontal health in the general population through meta-analysis, and to provide evidence-based guidance for governments, medical institutions, and healthcare workers on implementing primary prevention of periodontal problems. Methods: We conducted a search of Chinese and English databases to identify relevant literature published from the inception of each database to December 31, 2023, regarding the impact of personalized oral health education on periodontal health in the general population. Randomized controlled trials that met our inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected, and a quality assessment of the literature was performed. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool Version 2.0. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 18.0 after the literature quality evaluation. Results: The search yielded 2690 articles. After rigorous screening, a total of eight papers were included, involving 3384 participants. The meta-analysis showed that personalized oral health education, compared with conventional methods, significantly decreased plaque index (PI) (mean difference [MD] = -0.42, 95% confidence interval [CI; -0.63, -0.21], Conclusion: This study suggests that personalized oral health education can significantly improve periodontal health.
