1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim: The purpose of the study is to use a community-based participatory research strategy to refine and test the usability of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered smartphone app, Sugar Smart, to be used by children's parents/caregivers for the maintenance of dietary records and oral hygiene habits of children in Maharashtra, India, through a single-arm parallel randomized control trial. Materials and methods: The app, developed based on validated research on local dietary habits, was utilized by 100 children. To evaluate the app, two validated questionnaires and a 7-day diet diary format were employed. The first questionnaire assessed ease of use and compliance using a Chi-squared test, while the second examined improvements in dietary awareness before and after app usage through a paired Results: The findings indicate that a significant majority of users positively perceived the mobile app. The first questionnaire showed high ease of use and positive feedback (87% found it easy to use, 99% reported it helped regulate sugar intake). The Chi-squared test confirmed the statistical significance ( Conclusion: The study provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of the digital app in improving parental awareness and management of children's sugar intake. The significant improvements observed underscore the app's potential as a valuable tool in pediatric dentistry and public health. Clinical significance: This app demonstrates the potential to revolutionize dietary monitoring and behavior change in pediatric populations, promoting healthier dietary behaviors and thus being an effective digital tool in the reduction of caries burden.
