Effects of Nd∶YAP laser-assisted periodontal therapy on masticatory function and gingival circulation indices in patients with chronic periodontitis.

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
To investigate the effects of Nd∶YAP laser-assisted periodontal therapy on masticatory function and gingival circulation indices in patients with chronic periodontitis. This retrospective cohort study included 140 patients with chronic periodontitis, admitted between May 2022 and December 2024. The patients were divided into two groups: 81 patients in the Nd: YAP laser group and 59 in the basic treatment group. The study compared treatment efficacy, periodontal parameters, masticatory function, gingival circulation, inflammatory cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), and adverse reactions between the two groups. The Nd: YAP laser group showed a total effective rate of 95.06%, significantly higher than the basic treatment group (P < 0.05). The laser group also demonstrated greater improvements in periodontal indices, masticatory function, gingival circulation, and GCF inflammatory cytokines compared to the basic treatment group (P < 0.05). No significant adverse reactions were observed in either group. Nd: YAP laser-assisted basic periodontal treatment can improve the treatment effect of patients with chronic periodontitis to a certain extent, effectively improve periodontal indicators and chewing function, improve gingival microcirculation, and relieve inflammatory response. There are no obvious adverse reactions during the treatment, and it is relatively safe. It can be used as one of the auxiliary treatments for chronic periodontitis.
