Gingivitis in children and adolescents: epidemiological overview and associated factors-A narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Background: Gingivitis is the most prevalent periodontal disease in children and adolescents. Although reversible, its high prevalence highlights a significant public health concern, especially in underserved populations. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify English and French studies published between 2014 and 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on epidemiological studies reporting prevalence, risk factors, and preventive strategies of gingivitis in pediatric populations. Results: Gingivitis prevalence among children and adolescents varies widely across countries, ranging from 20% to over 90%. Higher rates were observed in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Key risk factors include poor oral hygiene, sugar-rich diets, low parental education, orthodontic appliances, and limited access to preventive care. Conclusion: Gingivitis in pediatric populations remains a global concern. Multilevel strategies involving families, schools, and oral health professionals are essential to improve prevention, health education, and access to care in order to reduce disease burden.
