Severity, extent, distribution and predisposing factors of gingival recession in Turkish patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the extent, severity, distribution and potential predisposing factors of gingival recession (GR), utilizing a questionnaire and clinical periodontal measurements obtained from Turkish patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 534 subjects were examined. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria evaluated by dental hygiene habits, educational level, smoking habit and past orthodontic treatment. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival thickness (GT), high frenum attachment, and mobility were recorded on the tooth with GR. Probe transparency (PT), crown width/crown length ratio (CW/CL), papilla height (PH) and height of gingival scallop were measured on the index tooth (#11FDI). The GR severity was categorized by using Miller's classification.
resultsOf the 534 individuals examined in this study, 376 (70.4%) had gingival recession, while 262 patients (49%) were meeting the inclusion criteria and 2,721 teeth (37%) were affected. The majority of the teeth (44.8%) showed Miller class I. The highest GR frequency was detected in incisors (39.5%), particularly in mandible. The correlation between GR and PI (p=0.025), PD (p=0.034), PH (p=0.007), CW/CL (p=0.009), CAL (p<0,001), PT (p<0,001) was found statistically significant. No statistical relation was found between tooth brushing duration (p>0,05), tooth brushing frequency (p>0,05) and gingival recession.
conclusionsGingival recession is a multifactorial condition significantly influenced by clinical and anatomical parameters such as PI, PH, CW/CL, PT while toothbrushing habits, including duration and frequency, appear to have a minimal impact.
