Oral Rehabilitation and Mental Health: Effects of the Renew Procedure on Depression Scores.
Article in Cureus, 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
The Renew Procedure is an elective comprehensive surgical and prosthetic intervention designed to address severe oral health issues, particularly periodontitis, and by systematically eliminating sources of chronic inflammation in the mouth, overall systemic health may improve. Additionally, restoring functionality and aesthetics to the mouth can significantly enhance a patient's quality of life. This study investigates whether improvements in oral health via the Renew Procedure correlate with measurable reductions in depressive symptoms, as assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a pre- and post-operative assessment administered to patients undergoing full-mouth rehabilitation with the Renew Procedure. The results indicate a statistically significant decrease in PHQ-9 scores, suggesting that the intervention may contribute to improved mental health outcomes. These findings support the need for integrated healthcare approaches that recognize the interconnections between oral health, systemic inflammation, and mental well-being.
