Impact of Dental Aesthetics on Dental Students' Academic and Social Performance: A PIDAQ-Based Study.
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
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of self-reported perception of facial and dental aesthetics on academic and social performance among dental students in Jordan. Methods: Online and paper-based cross-sectional surveys were collected from 371 dental students distributed between the two dental schools in Jordan. The survey contained the five sections of the Psychological Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), then asked participants about the presence or absence of factors that compromise dental aesthetics, and information about academic scores and academic satisfaction. Results: Results showed that facial and dental aesthetics had an impact on the social and academic performance of dental students in Jordan. Students who stated perceived factors compromising their dental aesthetics reported low levels of confidence when speaking and communicating with other people, lower grades, and low levels of satisfaction with overall academic performance. Conclusions: Social and academic performance of dental students in Jordan were found to be significantly influenced by the aesthetic qualities of the self-reported facial and dental features. These findings highlight potential psychosocial impacts of perceived dental aesthetics, while acknowledging that other unmeasured factors may also contribute.
