Periodontal Status and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Reticular and Nonreticular Oral Lichen Planus: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Observational study in Clinical and experimental dental research, 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 lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease that may affect oral health parameters. This study examined the relationships between periodontal status, dental health, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in patients with reticular and nonreticular OLP.
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study included 112 patients from the Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery with histopathologically confirmed OLP. Periodontal status was assessed using the periodontal screening index (PSI), dental health was assessed using the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) index, and OHRQoL was assessed using the German Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14). Patients were stratified into reticular and nonreticular OLP groups. Analyses were exploratory and based on group comparisons and correlation statistics.
resultsPatients with nonreticular OLP demonstrated significantly higher PSI scores than those with reticular OLP (p < 0.01), indicating poorer periodontal health. DMFT scores did not differ between groups. OHRQoL was significantly impaired in patients with nonreticular OLP (OHIP-14: 15.55 ± 10.60 vs. 11.06 ± 10.88; p = 0.02). The OHIP-14 showed a moderate association with the PSI and a weak association with the DMFT.
conclusionsThe clinical subtype of OLP is associated with differences in periodontal status and OHRQoL. Further longitudinal studies are required. These findings suggest that oral health conditions may be worth considering in the clinical management of OLP patients.
trial registrationThe study was prospectively registered (Ref. No. 2019-033.f-S) in accordance with institutional ethical requirements.
