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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship between depression and social appearance anxiety in young female patients who applied for aesthetic dental treatment. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted in a single centre and included 56 female patients aged 18-35 years. The mean age of the participants was 22.27 ± 5.62 years. Participants were informed before treatment, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were administered. Immediately after the treatment and 1 month later, the SAAS and VAS were administered again. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for the comparison of the data obtained and the Friedman test was used for temporal comparison. Multiple comparisons were made with Dunn's test.
resultsAfter aesthetic dental treatment, all participants' satisfaction with the appearance of their teeth increased, and social appearance anxiety decreased (p 0.001). The group with the lowest pretreatment satisfaction level was the group with moderate/high-level depressive symptoms. There was no correlation between the severity of depression and the increase in satisfaction after treatment (r = 0.247; p = 0.066). Satisfaction levels were similar in all depression groups after treatment. The group with the highest level of social appearance anxiety before and after treatment was the group with moderate/high-severity depressive symptoms. A moderate positive correlation was found between depression severity and social appearance anxiety (r = 0.4; p = 0.002).
conclusionsThe severity of depressive symptoms seen before treatment does not affect the level of satisfaction after treatment. There is a decrease in social appearance anxiety after aesthetic dental treatment. There is a positive relationship between social appearance anxiety and depression severity.
