Associations among state-trait anxiety, resilience, and health-related quality of life in patients with dentofacial deformities: a prospective study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study evaluates resilience changes in dentofacial deformities patients pre- and post-orthognathic surgery, exploring correlations with anxiety and quality of life to identify high postoperative anxiety risk index.
methodsData were collected from 96 adults with dentofacial deformities who were undergoing orthognathic surgery at four time points: preoperatively (T1), and at two weeks(T2), three months(T3), and six months(T4) postoperatively, Psychological status and disease-specific quality of life were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis combined with logistic regression was used to identify preoperative factors associated with elevated postoperative anxiety.
resultsPearson correlation analysis indicated that resilience was negatively correlated with state and trait anxiety levels across all four stages (p < 0.01), as well as between preoperative resilience and state-trait anxiety across all postoperative stages (p < 0.01).Additionally, the multiplicative interaction between resilience and trait anxiety statistically significant impacted quality of life scores at T4 (B = 0.02, t = 2.28, p = 0.03).The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale demonstrated effectiveness in screening patients with high anxiety level after surgery〔95% CI, two weeks 0.75(0.61,0.90), three months 0.71(0.57,0.86), and six months 0.74 (0.59,0.89), p < 0.01〕, with corresponding cut-off values of 24.5, 26.5, and 26.5, respectively.
conclusionsResilience may help alleviate trait anxiety to enhance quality of life. Furthermore, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale shows potential as a preliminary preoperative screening aid for identifying patients at risk of high postoperative state-trait anxiety levels.
