Linking knowledge, belief and awareness of menstrual cycle with oral health in young India women.

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
Limited awareness of the relationship between menstrual cycle-related hormonal changes and oral health remains a concern among young women, particularly in developing settings. Hence, this study assessed knowledge, beliefs and awareness regarding menstrual cycle and its correlation with oral health among women aged 18-30 years attending a government medical college. A total of 400 participants completed a validated questionnaire and underwent clinical examination using Gingival Index and Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified. Although general menstrual knowledge was adequate in 67.5% of participants, only 18.8% demonstrated awareness of its impact on oral health, with higher gingival inflammation observed in those with poor awareness and irregular cycles. Significant knowledge gaps highlight the need for targeted educational interventions integrating menstrual and oral health promotion.
