Relationship of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss With History of Chronic Periodontitis.
Article in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesChronic periodontitis (CP) has been linked to an increased risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). This study aimed to delineate the causal relationships between CP and SSNHL.
methodsData from participants aged 40 years or older in the Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort from 2002 through 2019 were used. Data for 13,769 patients with SSNHL were collected and matched with those for 55,076 control participants based on demographic and socioeconomic variables. The incidence of CP before the onset of SSNHL was recorded. The odds ratios (ORs) for SSNHL based on CP history were calculated using conditional logistic regression. ORs were analyzed according to the frequency of CP, specifically ≥1, ≥2, and ≥3 clinic visits for CP within 1 year and ≥1 visit within 2 years. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted for all covariables.
resultsThe patients with SSNHL had a higher mean number of CP visits (0.71 within 1 year and 1.34 within 2 years) compared with control participants. CP was associated with increased odds of SSNHL, with an OR of 1.14 (95% CI, 1.10-1.19) for ≥1 CP visit, an OR of 1.09 (95% CI, 1.03-1.15) for ≥2 visits, and an OR of 1.09 (95% CI, 1.02-1.17) for ≥3 visits within 1 year. Furthermore, having experienced at least 1 visit for CP within 2 years was associated with 1.15 times greater odds of SSNHL (95% CI, 1.10-1.19). Higher rates of SSNHL were also observed in the subgroups of participants with underweight, overweight, and age ≥65 years, as well as those with comorbidities.
conclusionCP was linked to an elevated incidence of SSNHL. Individuals with comorbidities, advanced age, or abnormal body weight were more likely to exhibit both CP and SSNHL.
