Oral Health Status of Children With a History of Liver Transplantation.
Article in Pediatric transplantation, 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
objectivesChronic liver disease (CLD) in children imposes a significant health burden that impacts their development. This study aims to investigate how dental health outcomes change after liver transplantation in children, focusing particularly on the post-transplant period, examining the effect of immunosuppressive therapy, dental and skeletal anomalies in this patient group, caries experience, and dental age-related factors, and to develop targeted interventions for these problems.
methodsThe prevalence of dental caries, the presence of odontogenic anomalies, the presence of jawbone anomalies, the need for periodontal treatment, the need for orthodontic treatment, and dental age were evaluated.
resultsFifty children (aged 6-12 years) with CLD and fifty healthy controls participated in the study. The analysis revealed no significant differences between the groups in terms of dental caries prevalence, presence of odontogenic anomalies, or jawbone anomalies. However, a statistically significant difference was found in dental age. While the analysis revealed no significant differences in dental caries prevalence between the groups, it is important to consider the possible moderating role of regular dental follow-ups after transplantation.
conclusionsThese findings offer valuable insights for dental professionals and pediatricians managing children with CLD. Future research with a larger sample size could further explore the association between CLD and dental age while investigating the potential influence of factors such as disease severity and medication use on oral health.
