Oral Health of the Electronic Cigarette Smokers: A Systematic Review.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: This review aimed to evaluate the impact of e-cigarette usage on oral health, given the rising popularity of e-cigarettes and their perceived lower risk compared to traditional smoking. Materials and Methods: Searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases for studies from January 2014 to December 2023. Eligibility was based on the PICOS criteria. Data extraction was performed by two independent investigators. Studies were assessed using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Tool. Results: The review included 31 studies, primarily from the USA and Saudi Arabia: 12 cross-sectional, nine case-control, five prospective observational, and five RCTs. Findings showed that clinical periodontal conditions and pro-inflammatory marker levels in e-cigarette users were similar to non-users and lower than conventional cigarette smokers. Dental issues studied included fractures, pain, decay, sensitivity, and loss. Two studies examined harmful metabolites in e-cigarette users. Most studies had low-quality evidence, relying on self-reported data without considering other influencing factors. Conclusion: E-cigarette users may experience more changes in oral tissues compared to non-smokers and former smokers.
