Correlation between latent categories of body image and sleep quality in adolescent orthodontic patients.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to identify potential categories of negative body image among adolescent orthodontic patients and further examine the relationship between these categories and sleep quality.To provide evidence for clinical psychological intervention.
methodsA total of 322 adolescent orthodontic patients were randomly selected from six stomatological hospitals in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, China, between June 2024 and February 2025. A field survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 (SATAQ-4R), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Body Image Scale (BISS). Data were analyzed using latent profile analysis, χ
resultsOf the 322 surveys distributed, 311 valid responses were collected, yielding an effective response rate of 96.58%. The average body image score was 29.36 ± 6.13. Latent profile analysis identified three categories of body image: self-acceptance (11.90%, 37 cases), self-negative (60.77%, 189 cases), and self-critical (27.33%, 85 cases). χ
conclusionsAdolescent orthodontic patients exhibit heterogeneous body image perceptions, with negative body image serving as a risk factor for poor sleep quality. Clinical attention should be paid to female and adolescent orthodontic patients with higher appearance anxiety or peer pressure. Early psychological assessment and combined orthodontic-psychological intervention should be used to help improve their body image cognition and sleep quality..
