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

aimsOur goal is to perform a meta-analysis to investigate the risk of periodontitis associated with specific dietary patterns.

methodsWe employed the PRISMA methodology in a meta-analysis to examine the correlation between dietary patterns and the risk of periodontitis. We systematically searched three online databases from inception to November 2024 to identify relevant studies. Summary estimates with 95%CI were calculated to assess the relationship between specific dietary patterns and the risk of periodontitis. Cumulative estimates were synthesized using random-effects or fixed-effects models. Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated using Cochran's Q and I

resultsIn total, we included 19 articles that analyzed 5 dietary patterns The study showed that a diet high in inflammation-promoting foods significantly raised the likelihood of periodontitis (OR = 1.39, 95% CI, 1.09-1.77), in contrast, dietary patterns like the mediterranean diet (OR = 0.96, 95% CI, 0.94-0.98), plant-based diet (OR = 0.92, 95% CI, 0.86-0.98), or dairy-rich diet (OR = 0.76, 95% CI, 0.66-0.87) lowered the risk of periodontitis. The analysis revealed no statistically significant association between a western diet (OR = 1.07; 95% CI, 0.86-1.33) and the risk of periodontitis.

conclusionsAs dietary diversity and complexity continue to expand, there has been a concomitant increase in the prevalence of periodontal disease. This study has identified specific dietary patterns associated with the risk of periodontitis, particularly highlighting the heightened risk linked to pro-inflammatory diets. These findings emphasize the importance of implementing targeted dietary practices to reduce the incidence of this condition.
