Oral mucosal ulceration during orthodontic treatment: The perception of patients and knowledge and attitude of the orthodontic practitioners.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAs both orthodontist and patient should play a role hand in hand for the better outcomes of the treatment their knowledge and perceptions regarding problems are important. Hence, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the perception of patients and knowledge and attitude of the Orthodontist with regards to oral mucosal ulceration during the treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsFor this cross-sectional questionnaire study was two questionnaires were distributed. The first questionnaire was given to orthodontic practitioners (
resultsOver half of the patient 63% had oral ulcers during orthodontic treatment. More than half of the orthodontic practitioners 55.3% in this study reported that orthodontic treatment is the cause of oral ulcerations. The majority of orthodontic practitioners 70% participating in this study educated their patients about oral ulcerations by using verbal means of education.
conclusionAlthough patients rarely visit their orthodontic practitioner with the complaint of ulcers it may be due to the fact that they seek physcian or implement various home remedies rather than seek their orthodontic practitioner. Further studies are needed to elucidate the correlation between ulcers and orthodontic treatment clinically.
