Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms in A Group of Children Receiving Orthodontic Treatment in Turkey.
Article in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveChildren with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are known to have several oral health problems, particularly traumatic dental injuries, decayed or filled teeth, and poor oral hygiene. The objective of the present study was to determine the ADHD symptoms in a group of patients with malocclusion and receiving orthodontic treatment.
methodsA total of 88 subjects with a diagnosis of malocclusion between aged 8 and 17 years were included in the study. Socio-demographic characteristics, breastfeeding history, oral habits, and dental trauma history of the subjects were acquired by a detailed questionnaire. Subjects and their parents completed questionnaires addressing ADHD, other psychiatric problems, and dental health impact on the quality of life. During the orthodontic examination, the Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need was applied to confirm the diagnosis of malocclusion.
resultsParent-reported psychiatric complaint occurred in almost half of the patients (n=38, 43.2%); the most frequent psychiatric complaints were inattention (n=22, 25%), opposition (n=13, 14.8%), and hyperactivity (n=11, 12.5%). The estimated ADHD prevalence according to parent measure was 15.9% (n=14). Self-report measures revealed that 18.4% (n=16) had behavioral symptoms. The most affected quality of life domain was psychological discomfort.
conclusionThe findings indicate that ADHD prevalence in children with malocclusion is high. The orthodontists should have a keen eye on behavioral problems.
