Relationship Between the Use of Vapes and Their Impact on Oral Health: A Bibliometric Study.
Review in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. 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
Objectives: The rapid global adoption of electronic cigarettes (vapes), particularly among younger populations, has raised significant concerns regarding their health impacts. Despite perceived lower risks compared with traditional smoking, these devices contain nicotine and toxins linked to respiratory and carcinogenic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the current scientific landscape regarding the relationship between vaping and oral health, identifying primary research trends, leading contributors (countries, journals, and authors), and existing knowledge gaps. Methods: A systematic bibliometric analysis was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCO databases, encompassing all relevant literature from database inception through May 31, 2024. The search utilized comprehensive strings targeting "vaping" and "oral health." Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, 160 publications were selected using Rayyan® for screening and duplicate removal. Data synthesis and science mapping were performed using Microsoft Excel 2024 and VOSviewer (v1.6.20) to analyze publication counts, keyword co-occurrence, and citation networks. Results: Analysis of the 160 included articles revealed a predominance of cross-sectional studies (31.2%, Conclusions: The field of vaping and oral health research is currently dominated by descriptive, cross-sectional data from high-income countries. While current evidence highlights potential risks, including inflammatory responses and oral microbiota disruption, the lack of longitudinal data limits the ability to establish definitive causality or long-term outcomes. Future research should prioritize prospective longitudinal studies to further clarify the specific clinical impacts of e-cigarette use on oral tissues.
