Effect of personality traits on the oral health-related quality of life in patients with oral lichen planus undergoing treatment.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between personality traits and perceived treatment success in oral lichen planus. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 53 patients with diagnosed oral lichen planus were evaluated at the time of diagnosis and along the course of their treatment. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used for evaluating pain and burning sensation, along with an evaluation of the oral health-related quality of life (OHIP) and the clinical severity. In order to determine the personality trait, the NEO-FFI questionnaire was applied. Data were assessed with the statistical software Stata by a multiple linear regression.
resultsA significant relationship between the two personality traits: "conscientiousness" and "extraversion" and a perceived improvement in oral lichen planus could be observed. The higher the "conscientiousness," the better the perceived oral health-related quality of life. Furthermore, "extraversion" had a significant influence on the improvement in clinical severity index (P < 0.05).
conclusionsPersonality traits, especially conscientiousness and extraversion, have a significant impact on the perception of therapeutic intervention in oral lichen planus. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: As personalized patient management is gaining importance and psychosocial factors play a significant role in mucosal diseases, the patient's psychological profile should be considered in the oral lichen planus management.
