Assessment of Periodontal Parameters Following the Use of Fixed and Removable Space Maintainers in 6-12-year Olds.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
aimPlacement of fixed space maintainer (FSM) and removable space maintainer (RSM) may increase the risk of gingivitis in children. This study aimed to assess the effect of using FSMs and RSMs on periodontal parameters in 6-12-year olds. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis interventional prospective study was conducted on systemically healthy 6-12-year olds (mean age of 8 years) presenting at the Department of Pediatrics, Tehran University requiring space maintainers. The probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), and gingival index (GI) were recorded at the baseline and 6 months after using space maintainers in the abutment teeth in patients with fixed space maintainers and in the tooth with the Adams clasp in children with removable space maintainers as well as the same teeth in the opposing jaw/quadrant as controls.
resultsA significant increase in PPD was noted in distolingual and mesiolingual sites at 6 months after placement of FSM (
conclusionBOP and GI increase following placement of FSM and RSM, and PPD increases in distolingual and mesiolingual areas of the banded tooth. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Hosseinipour ZS, Poorzandpoush K, Heidari A,
