Oral and Periodontal Manifestations in Systemic Sclerosis: A Comprehensive Review of Pathophysiology, Clinical Features, and Management Strategies.
Review in Oral health & preventive dentistry, 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
purposeSystemic sclerosis is a connective tissue disorder that presents with various orofacial manifestations, which may influence oral health status and complicate dental management. This review sought to identify the oral and periodontal signs linked to systemic sclerosis, examine the specific oral health challenges faced by individuals with this condition, and outline their potential oral healthcare requirements. MATERIALS AND
methodsA review of the available literature was undertaken to evaluate the reported oral and periodontal manifestations associated with systemic sclerosis and to assess their clinical implications.
resultsOrofacial manifestations of systemic sclerosis include skin fibrosis, reduced mouth opening, dry mouth, and difficulty swallowing, as well as a potential increased risk of tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. These oral and periodontal characteristics, along with their associated complications, improve the understanding and anticipation of oral healthcare requirements for affected patients.
conclusionRecognition of the oral and periodontal features of systemic sclerosis emphasizes the importance of raising awareness among dental professionals to enhance treatment planning and improve the quality of dental care delivered to this patient population.
