The association of recurrent aphthous stomatitis with general health and oral health related quality of life among dental students.
Article in International journal of physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, 2022. 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
backgroundRecurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral mucosa diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association of RAS with general health and oral health-related quality of life among dental students of Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences in 2020.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, a researcher-made checklist about the type, size, location, number, and recurrence rate of ulcers, oral health-related quality of life questionnaire (OHIP-14), and a 28-item general health questionnaire (GHQ-28) were completed by 100 dental students.
resultsThe proportion of RAS was significantly higher among females than males (61.1 versus 38.9, P=0.03) and was associated with family involvement history (P<0.001) and a Tendency to eat spicy foods (P=0.02). Moreover, the oral health-related quality of life was significantly lower among students with a history of RAS (8.17 ± 8.33 versus 4.22 ± 4.10, P=0.003). The results showed that GHQ-positive status was significantly associated with ulcer size (P=0.01). The general health status was positively correlated with RAS prevalence (p=0.04). Also, an investigation of the OHIP questionnaire showed that there was a significant correlation between physical status (r=0.31, P<0.001), insomnia, and mental status (r=0.33, P<0.001) with OHIP total score.
conclusionThe results of this study confirmed a significant association between aphthous stomatitis and general health and oral health-related quality of life. So possibly improving general health and oral health-related quality of life may be effective in preventing aphthous stomatitis.
