Relationship between stomatognathic alterations and idiopathic scoliosis: a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies.
Article in EFORT open reviews, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: The objective of this systematic review was to assess a possible relationship between stomatognathic alterations and idiopathic scoliosis (IS). Design: This study is a systematic review with meta-analysis of observational studies. Methods: The protocol of this systematic review with meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022370593). A bibliographic search was carried out in the Pubmed (MEDLINE), Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL databases using the MeSH terms 'Scoliosis' and 'Stomatognathic Disease'. The odds ratio (OR) of prevalence and standardized mean difference (SMD) were used to synthesize the results. Results: Of 1592 studies located, 14 studies were selected with 3018 subjects (age: 13.9 years). IS was related to Angle's class II (OR = 2.052, 95% CI = 1.236-3.406) and crossbite (OR = 2.234, 95% CI = 1.639-3.045). Patients with malocclusion showed a higher prevalence of IS than controls (OR = 4.633, 95% CI = 1.467-14.628), and subjects with IS showed high overjet (SMD = 0.405, 95% CI = 0.149-0.661) and greater dysfunction due to temporomandibular disorders (SMD = 1.153, 95% CI = 0.780-1.527). Conclusion: Compared with healthy controls, subjects with IS have twice the risk of suffering from occlusion disorders, present greater temporomandibular dysfunction and have a greater overjet in the incisors. Moreover, subjects with malocclusion have an IS prevalence up to four times higher. The systematic orofacial examination of patients with IS should be recommended.
