Association of psychosis and oral health: case-control study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 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
objectivesRoughly one in eight individuals presents with psychiatric disorders which were proposed to significantly affect oral health. This study compared oral health of 112 patients (mean 28 years), 31 with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) or 33 with major depression/bipolar disorders (MDD/BD) to 52 healthy controls (HCG). MATERIALS AND
methodsOral health parameters, including caries experience (decayed-missed-filled teeth/surfaces-index DMFT/DMFS), the presence of plaque (plaque-index PI) and periodontal health (bleeding on probing BOP, periodontal probing depths PPD%), were evaluated by examiners blinded to psychiatric diagnoses. Descriptive statistics summarized demographic and clinical data. Group differences and associations with dental outcomes were analyzed using Chi-square or Mann-Whitney-U tests. Logistic regression identified predictors of oral health.
resultsPatients with SSD or MDD/BD resented with significantly oorer oral health than HCG regarding DMFT (SSD = 9; MDD/BD = 10; HCG = 2), DMFS (SSD = 10; MDD/BD = 12; HCG = 1), PI (SSD = 2; MDD/BD = 2; HCG = 1), BOP (SSD = 20%; MDD/BD = 17%; HCG = 3)% and PPD% (SSD = 1%; MDD/BD = 0%; HCG = 0%) and smoked more often. Differences regarding dental anxiety were not significant (p = 0.112). Subgroup analysis showed no differences between SSD and MDD/BD.
conclusionsSSD and MDD/BD and smoking are key contributors to poor dental health shown by significantly worse DMFT, DMFS and PI, BOP. Probably this might additionally be enhanced by concomitant medication, with multiple psychiatric medication being associated with poorer oral health regarding DMFT, PI and BOP. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Routine dental care and personalized oral hygiene training to address disease-specific risks are desirable for individuals with SSD or MDD/BD.
