Determinants of Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Among Individuals Requiring Endodontic Treatment.

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
Background: Dental pain, swelling, and sensitivity are typically assessed by dentists, who often overlook their impact on patients' daily lives. "Oral health-related quality of life" (OHRQoL) assesses the impact of oral conditions on daily activities. Previous studies have shown that dental issues have a significant effect on OHRQoL, motivating patients to seek treatment. Aim: To evaluate OHRQoL and its associated factors among patients requiring endodontic treatment in the Indian context. Methodology: This cross-sectional study included patients aged 18 years or older who required endodontic treatment. We excluded patients with acute conditions or communication barriers. Sociodemographic data, clinical variables, self-reported pain, and OHRQoL (oral health impact profile [OHIP-14]) data were then collected. The Mann‒Whitney Results: Of the 323 patients who were eligible, 306 participated. The mean age was 39.85 years, and most participants were female (59.5%). OHIP-14 scores were significantly positively correlated with global general health, oral health, and pain ( Conclusion: Patients requiring endodontic treatment experience substantial impairment in OHRQoL, which is influenced primarily by pain and the cumulative oral disease burden rather than by sociodemographic factors.
