A systematic review of the patient reported outcome measures used to assess the impact of periodontitis and peri-implantitis on oral health related quality of life.
Article in BDJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionPeriodontal disease (PD) and peri-implantitis (PI) can have a significant impact on oral health related quality of life. It is important that any patient reported outcome measures accurately reflect this impact.
aimsTo identify the measures used to assess the impact of periodontal disease and peri-implantitis on oral health related quality of life. To assess the psychometric properties of the measures identified by applying an adapted version of the Consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments (COSMIN) checklist. MATERIALS AND
methodsA search of the literature incorporated relevant MeSH terms across four separate databases: Scopus, Web of Science, Medline and Embase. Following the removal of duplicates, studies meeting the inclusion criteria were screened. Any condition specific measure or a measure appearing greater than five times was analysed in accordance with the COSMIN criteria.
resultsA total of 2103 articles were identified, of which 140 proceeded to full text review. A total of eight different OHRQoL measures were identified and psychometrically analysed. DISCUSSION: The majority of measures used to assess the impact of PD and PI were not validated on local populations and were non-specific, generated by clinicians and researchers. The three condition specific measures were adaptations of the Oral Health Impact Profile, a non-specific patient reported outcome measure which may not accurately reflect the specific signs, symptoms and overall impact of PD/PI on an individual's OHRQoL.
conclusionThere is a necessity for a condition-specific instrument to be developed to ensure that the impact of periodontal disease and peri-implantitis on OHRQoL is captured accurately.
