Associations of Social Psychological Factors and OHRQoL in Periodontitis Patients: A Structural Equation Modeling Study.
Article in Patient preference and adherence, 2024. 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
Background and Purpose: Periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults worldwide. The functional loss, nutritional deficiencies, and psychological barriers it causes, as well as its impact on overall health and quality of life, are all significant. The prevalence of periodontal disease is high in China. Our study aimed to determine the intricate relationship between periodontal disease status, dental anxiety, self-rated oral health (SROH), self-efficacy for oral care, perceived social support, socioeconomic status (SES), and the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among periodontitis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study used purposive sampling to identify 247 patients with periodontitis who entered the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University between October 2022 and October 2023. 247 participants underwent a periodontal clinical examination combined with imaging, adhering to the "2018 world new classification of periodontal and peri⁃implant diseases and conditions". Participants also completed a detailed questionnaire in paper format, which included OHRQoL, sociodemographic details, dental anxiety, SROH, self-efficacy in oral care, perceived social support, and subjective SES. Results: Dental anxiety, self-efficacy for oral care, and SROH all had a direct and significant effect on OHRQoL. OHRQoL was indirectly related to SROH mediated by dental anxiety and subjective SES, perceived social support and self-efficacy for oral care, respectively. SROH was directly related to subjective SES, and at the same time, they had a direct effect on dental anxiety. Furthermore, patient's age, gender, annual household income, and education level were significantly associated with the degree of periodontal disease. Conclusion: OHRQoL and periodontal status was influenced by socio-demographics characteristics, dental anxiety, SROH, self-efficacy for oral care, perceived social support, subjective SES in periodontitis patients. These insights underscore the importance of adopting a holistic approach in the management and treatment of periodontal diseases.
