A Prospective Longitudinal Observational Study on the Emotional Impact of AI-Simulated Smiles on Orthodontic Patient Motivation.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2026. 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
Background: To evaluate the impact of the SmileView (SV) simulation on smile esthetic perception and its influence on motivation to undertake orthodontic treatment. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted with 51 subjects in Madrid, Spain. Participants had an initial smile photo taken (T0) and a simulated image generated by SV (T1). They rated, on a 1-10 scale, the general perception of their smile and specific variables (width, alignment, color, gingival exposure, and shape) at both T0 and T1. Intention to pursue orthodontic treatment was recorded. Data were analyzed with SPSS 28.0. Results: Smile perception improved significantly postsimulation (T0: 5.84 ± 2.12; T1: 7.00 ± 2.61; Conclusion: SV improves smile perception but has limited influence on treatment motivation without clinical guidance.
