Effect of periodontal treatment on glycemic control of patients with diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02874963 (Impact of Combined Non-surgical and Surgical Periodontal Treatment in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
AIMS/
introductionThe aim of the present study was to investigate whether non-surgical periodontal treatment reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn electronic search was carried out on MEDLINE (through PubMed interface), EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Randomized controlled trials with a minimum of 3 months follow up were included. The risk of bias was assessed for each study. A meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment on HbA1c and FPG levels. The effect of the adjunctive use of antimicrobials was also assessed.
resultsA total of 15 studies were included. A reduction of -0.38% (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.23 to -0.53) after 3-4 months (P < 0.001) and of -0.31% (95% CI 0.11 to -0.74) after 6 months (P = 0.15) of follow-up was found for HbA1c, favoring the treatment group. Similarly, in treated patients, a significantly greater decrease in FPG was observed in respect to control participants. Such difference amounted to -9.01 mg/dL (95% CI -2.24 to -15.78) after 3-4 months (P = 0.009) and -13.62 mg/dL (95% CI 0.45 to -27.69) after 6 months (P = 0.06) from treatment, respectively. In participants treated with adjunctive antimicrobials, a non-significant increase of HbA1c was observed 3 months after treatment, whereas FPG decreased by 0.27 mg/dL (95% CI 39.56 to -40.11; P = 0.99).
conclusionsThe meta-analysis showed that non-surgical periodontal treatment improves metabolic control in patients with both periodontitis and diabetes.
