Patient-centered factors associated with orthodontic treatment success: a scoping review.
Article in Brazilian oral research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the available literature on pretreatment factors, from a patient-centered perspective, that predict successful orthodontic treatment. Systematic and unrestricted searches were conducted across the electronic MEDLINE, Embase, Web-of-Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and LILACS/Bireme databases. Grey literature was also searched to identify potential studies. Qualitative assessments of the role of patient-centered pretreatment factors in orthodontic treatment success (adherence, satisfaction, and discontinuation rates) were evaluated and synthesized. Study selection and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. A total of sixteen studies were included. Three main domains related to the patient emerged as positive predictors of orthodontic treatment success: previous patterns of social behavior, attitudes of parents/caregivers, and reasonable motivation. Certain personality traits were associated with both positive and negative levels of adherence and treatment satisfaction. The evidence did not support the notion that the impact of malocclusion on aesthetic self-perception could serve as an indicator of cooperation, satisfaction, or discontinuation rates related to orthodontic treatment. Positive social behavior patterns and parental/caregiver attitudes, along with realistic prior motivation toward treatment goals, were found to be reliable predictors of orthodontic treatment success. Additionally, some personality traits were found to be associated with successful treatment outcomes. However, the evidence did not support the impact of malocclusion on self-perceived aesthetics as an indicator of compliance and satisfaction levels with orthodontic treatment.
