Oral health status and preventive determinants in children with type 1 diabetes: a cross-sectional comparative study.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 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
Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that may adversely affect oral health in children. However, the contribution of preventive determinants to oral health outcomes in this population remains insufficiently explored. Objective: To compare oral health status and preventive determinants between children with T1DM and non-diabetic peers and to investigate their associations with oral health outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 children with T1DM and 100 age- and sex-matched non-diabetic controls (3-17 years). Data on oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and dental attendance were collected using structured questionnaires. Clinical examinations assessed dental caries (DMFT/dmft), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and calculus deposition. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, Student's t-tests, and ANOVA. Results: The mean age of participants was 9.6 years. No significant difference in DMFT/dmft was observed between groups ( Conclusion: Children with T1DM exhibited poorer periodontal and oral hygiene status than non-diabetic peers despite similar caries experience. Oral hygiene practices and dietary behaviors were significantly associated with oral health outcomes. These findings support the integration of targeted oral health promotion strategies into routine pediatric diabetes care.
