Perception of smile esthetics in cases managed with orthodontic alignment and prosthetic enhancement.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Smile esthetics plays a crucial role in determining the success of interdisciplinary treatments involving orthodontic alignment and prosthetic enhancement. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate perceptions of smile esthetics among orthodontists, prosthodontists, general dentists, and laypersons using standardized frontal smile photographs. Hence, a total of 200 observations were assessed using a standardized rating scale, and statistical analysis was performed to compare differences between groups and assess reliability. The results showed significant differences in esthetic perception, with prosthodontists and orthodontists giving higher ratings than general dentists and laypersons. Reliability analysis demonstrated good-to-excellent agreement. Thus, we show that professional background significantly influences aesthetic perception, highlighting the importance of incorporating patient and lay perspectives in interdisciplinary treatment planning.
