Oro-Functional Conditions in a 6-to-14-Year-Old School Children Population in Rome: An Epidemiological Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe aim of the present cross-sectional study was to assess oral and functional conditions, the prevalence of malocclusions, and oral habits in a population of schoolchildren in Rome (Italy).
methodsThe study sample included n. 1033 subjects, between 6 and 14 years of age, attending public schools in Rome. Oral health condition, occlusal relationship, and functional analysis were charted for all subjects. The rate of prevalence for the dental health element was calculated. To evaluate the relationship between the variables examined, Pearson's Chi-square test was used to assess the significative findings of this association.
resultsMore than half of the students had a low level of oral hygiene (654 subjects). Class I malocclusion was the most common occlusal condition (573 subjects). Oral habits were present in most of the subjects and more than one habit was observed.
conclusionsThe results of the current investigation highlight the necessity of improving public health programs for orthodontic prevention, and future screenings need to be planned to organize resources in Rome.
