Oral health-related quality of life in systemic disease patients: A bibliometric analysis and visualization from 2001 to 2024.
Article in Medicine, 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
backgroundOral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) serves as a key measure for understanding how systemic health conditions affect oral health and daily functioning. This study aims to systematically analyze the research on the relationship between OHRQoL and systemic diseases using scientometric methods, with the goal of uncovering research trends, hotspots, and frontiers.
methodsPublications from the Web of Science were analyzed using GraphPad Prism, Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. Results were visualized.
resultsA total of 441 documents (2001-2024) were included. Publication output steadily increased, with a surge in 2020. Core authors, journals, and institutions were mainly from developed countries. Frequent keywords included "OHRQoL," "oral health," "impact," "validation," and "periodontal disease." Twelve keyword clusters were identified: "oral cancer," "oral squamous cell carcinoma," "breast neoplasms," "oral health," and "dental care" were key hotspots. "Osteoporosis" and "benign mucous membrane" emerged as novel themes, while "consensus," "older people," "2017 World Workshop," and "dry mouth" showed strong bursts.
conclusionsResearch has advanced significantly, with developed countries as key contributors. Cancer, periodontitis, and the validation tools are central topics. Aging populations, and systemic or oral diseases in older adults are expected to shape future directions.
