Oral health status, on-ice and off-ice test performance, and match performance in elite male ice hockey players: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. 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
Introduction: Oral health status (OH) seems to be relevant for the overall health status and common physical performance (PP). Aim: The aim was to explore the associations between OH, days of absence (due to illness and injury), parameters of on-ice and off-ice performance diagnostic, and the match performance (MP) over three seasons. Methods: Twenty male players (age: 27.7 ± 3.6 years; range: 20-34 years; 2 goalies, 7 defenders, and 11 forwards) from a third league professional ice hockey team were investigated regarding several dental parameters (DMFT, PSI, API, and PBI) by a calibrated examiner. The PP diagnostic contains the ice hockey-specific complex test (IHCT), strength-endurance tests (bench press, plank), and endurance tests on bike (PWC 170, 30 min all-out test) as well as the measurement of postural stability and regulation using posturography. Furthermore, the number of sick days and the MP were collected and assessed over three seasons. Results: We could not find any relevant ( Discussion: In the framework of this study, dental health and injury prevention did not correlate with each other. Overall, the dental health of the German ice hockey sample examined could be rated above comparable averages. The test and match data once again prove the IHCT to be a suitable assessment tool.
