Impact of physical activity on oral health: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Physical activity and overall health are directly related. Physical inactivity has significant detrimental health effects over the course of a lifetime. World Health Organization (WHO) defines oral health as the absence of mouth and facial pain, oral diseases, and disorders that restrict a person's ability to bite, chew, smile, talk, and maintain their mental health. Poor oral health has been linked to lower quality of life (QOL) and well-being, increased risk of several noncommunicable diseases (for example, hypertension, dementia, depression etc). This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO. Articles from three electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, and DOAJ, using Boolean operator from January 2013 until May 2023, were searched. Quality assessment of all studies was assessed using the NIH and JBI tool. 1909 articles were identified from e-databases, and after inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 17 studies were included in this literature. The systematic review suggests that whether or not physical activity generally influences overall oral health outcomes. The results of this systematic study show a relationship between people who exercise regularly and their oral health and oral health practices. People who are physically active have been found to have lower levels of inflammatory biological markers, which is linked to better oral health.
