Periodontitis and Periodontal Conditions in Systemically Healthy Children and Adolescents.
Review in Journal of clinical periodontology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo answer the PICoS question 'in systemically healthy children and adolescents (Population), what are the main features of periodontitis, necrotising periodontal diseases (NPD) and other periodontal conditions (periodontal abscesses, endo-periodontal lesions, traumatic occlusal forces, prosthesis- and tooth-related factors) (Phenomenon of Interest) in terms of epidemiology, aetiology, risk factors/indicators, diagnosis, prevention or therapy (Context)'. MATERIALS AND
methodsFour databases were searched up to September 2024, and studies were included that considered children and adolescents (< 18 years).
resultsDuring the search, 5389 potential publications were identified of which 205 articles were included. Most studies reported on periodontitis (n = 148), followed by mucogingival conditions (n = 42), NPD (n = 13) and periodontal abscesses (n = 2). There were no studies dealing with other periodontal conditions.
conclusionsIn children and adolescents (1) the quality of the evidence is generally very low; (2) prevalence of periodontitis varied from 0.1% to 30.36%, and increases over time, with variations due to diagnostic criteria, risk indicators and study populations; (3) NPD showed large variability in prevalence (0%-27.1%) associated with socioeconomic, nutritional and environmental factors and (4) prevalence of gingival recession ranged from 1% to 74%, orthodontic therapy being one of the most studied associated factors.
