Periodontal Status and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Children with Down Syndrome.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Children with down syndrome (DS) often experience a higher prevalence and severity of periodontal disease compared to typically developing children. This can negatively impact their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Objective: This study aimed to assess the periodontal status and OHRQoL in children with DS and investigate the association between these factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 50 children with DS and 50 age-matched typically developing children. Periodontal parameters, including plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing pocket depths (PPD), and clinical attachment loss (CAL), were recorded. OHRQoL was evaluated using the Child-OIDP questionnaire. Results: Children with DS exhibited significantly higher PI scores (mean difference = 0.85, Conclusion: This study confirms that children with DS experience compromised periodontal health and reduced OHRQoL. These findings emphasize the need for early and comprehensive oral healthcare interventions to improve both periodontal health and overall well-being in this population.
