Comparison of Oral Health Features in a Pair of Identical Twins: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
This case report presents the overall oral health characteristics of 23-year-old identical male twins. It compares their oral features, including restorative status (i.e., decayed, missing, and filled teeth), periodontal and orthodontic characteristics, and facial characteristics. Clinical and radiographic examinations were used to assess and document these features. Despite the expected similarities in many oral characteristics, notable differences were observed in oral health status, including the presence of dental caries, filled teeth, and the condition of the wisdom teeth. Additionally, variations were identified in the twins' facial and orthodontic characteristics. This case report aims to establish a standardized protocol for quantifying oral features in future clinical studies involving identical twins in dentistry. By highlighting both the similarities and differences between the twins, this report provides a foundation for future research to clarify the respective contributions of genetic and environmental factors to overall oral and facial characteristics in the population.
