1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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/purposeAs the population ages, the prevalence of stroke increases, and as such there has been increasing interest in the risk factors associated with stroke. Although an association between periodontitis and stroke has been suggested, there has been no study of this association among the Korean population. Therefore, we investigated the association between periodontal health and stroke among Korean adults. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 9497 adults aged ≥40 years representing the Korean population were included in this cross-sectional study from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) VI (2013-2015). Periodontitis was diagnosed by dentists based on the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Also, participants filled out a questionnaire regarding their experience of doctor-diagnosed stroke. Hypertension, diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and oral hygiene behavior covariates were adjusted in logistic regression analysis.

resultsThe mean age of the study population was 55.71 ± 0.17 years and 52.7% of them were female. Also, 248 people had a history of having a stroke. Results of the logistic regression analysis after adjusting for age and sex showed a significant relationship between oral health behavior, periodontal health, and stroke even after adjusting for age, sex, education, household income, national health insurance, employment status, alcohol, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, BMI, and oral health behaviors (odds ratio [OR], 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03-2.85).

conclusionOur findings suggest that periodontitis is associated with stroke in Korean adults.
