Do Psychosocial Resources Mitigate the Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Among Adolescents.
Article in International journal of paediatric dentistry, 2026. 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
backgroundAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with poorer general and oral health outcomes, but the psychosocial mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear.
aimThe aim of this study is to assess whether perceived social support and sense of coherence (SOC) moderate the association between ACEs and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among adolescents.
designA cross-sectional study nested within a cohort of 406 adolescents aged 14-18 years from southern Brazil. OHRQoL was measured using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14), ACEs by the Adverse Childhood Experiences-International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ), perceived social support by a proxy question, and SOC by the 13-item Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13). Sociodemographic and behavioral variables were included as covariates. Poisson regression was conducted.
resultsAdolescents exposed to ACEs and reporting low perceived social support had CPQ11-14 scores 1.48 (95% CI 1.26-1.74) times higher than peers without ACEs and with high support. Those with ACEs and low SOC had scores 2.5 times higher (95% CI 2.22-2.80). Adolescents with ACEs but higher perceived social support or SOC levels also exhibited higher CPQ11-14 scores, although with smaller impacts.
conclusionThese findings emphasize that psychosocial factors, such as perceived social support and SOC, may buffer the impact of ACEs on OHRQoL in adolescents.
