Constructing self-rated oral health among disadvantaged older African Americans.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2026. 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
Poor oral health care is prevalent among minority, disadvantaged, and older populations despite being readily treatable by effective, low-technology, low-cost interventions for prevention and early care. Oral health is a recognized priority ( 1, 2) in the goals set by the "Oral Health in Healthy People 2030″ (3) and the World Health Organization's call to for universal oral health coverage (4). However, many challenges exist, including inadequate awareness, knowledge, and access, particularly among disadvantaged groups. A key to improving use of services is knowledge of the individual's own appraisal of their oral health. Today, our understanding of these appraisals remains inadequate. This article offers insights into how older Detroit inner-city residents participating in a community-based oral health equity project construct their oral health self-rating, oral health perceptions, and beliefs. Such information is critical to guide providers and policymakers working to improve oral health.
