Oral Lesions in People Living with HIV: The Lining HIV Study.
Observational study in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Oral manifestations are common in people living with HIV (PLWH) and may affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), while data from Greece remain limited. This multicenter prospective cohort study evaluated oral health status and OHRQoL among PLWH and explored associations with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and clinical factors. Overall, 370 PLWH from seven referral centers were included. Participants underwent oral examination, with oral hygiene assessed using the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S), and completed the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v29.0, while multinomial and binary logistic regression identified predictors of oral hygiene status and OHRQoL, respectively. Most participants were male (76.5%), had CD4 counts ≥ 200 cells/μL (95.4%), and were receiving ART (98.6%). Annual dental check-ups, daily tooth brushing, mouthwash use, and dental floss use were reported by 54.1%, 69.5%, 31.9%, and 23.8%, respectively. The median OHI-S score was 2.0 (IQR:1.5-2.7), with 16.9% having poor OHI-S; the median OHIP-14 score was 11 (IQR: 7-15), with 64.4% reporting poor OHRQoL. Male sex was associated with lower odds of poor OHRQoL (OR = 0.377;
