Psychosocial impact of chronic oral mucosal pain disorders: Associations with oral health related quality of life, anxiety, and depression.

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: Chronic oral mucosal pain disorders, including Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS), Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), Atypical Odontalgia, and Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain, are debilitating conditions that significantly impair oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). These disorders are frequently associated with psychological distress, particularly anxiety and depression; however, studies integrating assessments of OHRQoL with psychological morbidity remain limited. Objective: To evaluate the impact of chronic oral mucosal pain disorders on OHRQoL, anxiety, and depression, and to identify psychological predictors of impaired quality of life. Methods: A case-control study was conducted involving 52 patients with chronic oral mucosal pain disorders and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. OHRQoL was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), and psychological distress was measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Group comparisons were performed using independent t-tests and chi-square tests. Multivariable linear regression identified independent predictors of OHIP-14 scores, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis evaluated the ability of OHIP-14 to detect depression. Results: Patients showed significantly higher OHIP-14 scores than controls (28.3 ± 6.0 vs. 11.7 ± 5.0; p < 0.0001). Clinically relevant anxiety and depression were present in 84.6% and 80.8% of patients, respectively. Anxiety and depression independently predicted poorer OHRQoL, while demographic factors and symptom duration were not significant. OHIP-14 demonstrated good diagnostic accuracy for depression (Area under the curve (AUC) = 0.85). Conclusion: Chronic oral mucosal pain disorders (COMPD) are associated with marked impairment in quality of life and substantial psychological burden, underscoring the need for routine psychological screening in oral medicine practice.
