1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Psychosomatic oral manifestations in children are often overlooked, despite their strong association with underlying psychological stress and anxiety. This cross-sectional study evaluated 100 pediatric patients aged 6-16 years to determine the prevalence and pattern of stress-related oral conditions. Findings showed that 68% exhibited at least one psychosomatic oral manifestation, with significantly higher rates among children with moderate and high anxiety scores. Common findings included bruxism, aphthous ulcers, parafunctional habits, temporomandibular disorders and psychogenic pain, all strongly linked to elevated stress levels. This study advances existing knowledge by highlighting the need for integrated psychological screening in pediatric dentistry to improve early detection and management of psychosomatic oral conditions.
