Oral health-related quality of life and dental occlusion before and after alveolar and hard palate reconstruction at the time of mixed dentition.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 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
Aim: In children 8-10 years old with not syndromic cleft lip and palate (nsCLP) and intentionally unrepaired nasoalveolar fistula, to assess the difference in oral health-related quality of life before and 6 months after the reconstruction, compared to age matched children with no birth abnormalities, considering dental occlusion. Methods: 52 children participated in the study, 26 with nsCLP and 26 with no birth abnormalities. At inclusion in the study, dental occlusion was assessed by the Angle classification and the Dental Aesthetic Index in all the participants, and also by the GOSLON yardstick index in participants with nsCLP. Oral health-related quality of life was evaluated by the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ Results: In participants with/ without nsCLP, oral-health related quality of life was significantly related to dental occlusion and to age. In participants with nsCLP, after reconstruction, quality of life improved mainly on the emotional and social well-being domains, with influence and interaction between age and dental occlusion. Comment: In children with nsCLP and intentionally unrepaired nasoalveolar fistula, the earliest possible repair could be beneficial for their emotional and social well-being. To start prompt orthopaedic treatment, early evaluation of dental occlusion should be promoted in both children with and without nsCLP.
