Assessment of Dentin Hypersensitivity in Patients With Bulimia Nervosa.
Article in Cureus, 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
The article presents results obtained from a study on dentin hypersensitivity in patients diagnosed with bulimia nervosa. These patients are characterized by erosions of the hard dental tissues caused by frequent acid exposure due to self-induced vomiting. Erosive lesions are often associated with hypersensitivity due to dentin exposure.
objectiveThe aim of the study is to determine the presence of a direct relationship between dentin hypersensitivity and dental erosion in patients with bulimia nervosa, as erosion plays an important role in the localization of dentin hypersensitivity. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 30 patients diagnosed with bulimia. We examined 788 teeth, of which erosions were registered in 316. Two methods were used to provoke dentin hypersensitivity: a tactile stimulus and a cold stimulus. Pain assessment was performed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The study was conducted at the Dental Center of the Faculty of Dental Medicine in Varna, as well as in the Clinical Halls of 'Conservative Dentistry and Oral Pathology' within the Faculty of Dental Medicine, during the period 2023-2024.
resultsA significant proportion of the examined patients (96.67%) reported experiencing dentin hypersensitivity in at least one tooth. Patients most commonly reported pain triggered by thermal stimuli, particularly cold, as well as during tooth brushing. After examining all available teeth with erosion, we found that nearly half of them (47.15%) were hypersensitive.
conclusionDental erosion in patients with bulimia nervosa plays a crucial role in the localization of hypersensitivity. The severity of hypersensitivity may vary, ranging from mild discomfort to intense pain, which can impair masticatory and speech functions, as well as interfere with the patient's daily activities.
