Osteoarthritis, bronchial asthma, and periodontitis: is there a mutual influence? A 5-year case-control study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the influence of osteoarthritis (OA), bronchial asthma (BA), and the concomitant presence of both conditions on the progression of periodontitis over a five-year follow-up in patients under periodontal maintenance care.
methodsThis case–control longitudinal cohort study analyzed 276 patients divided into four age- and gender-matched groups. Healthy (no OA, no BA), OA, BA, and BAOA (both conditions), with 69 patients in each group. Baseline periodontal parameters, tooth loss due to periodontitis, number of deep pockets (≥ 5 mm), and additional treatment needs were assessed and compared across groups over a mean follow-up duration of 6.5 ± 2.2 years.
resultsAt baseline, the Healthy group exhibited significantly more periodontal pockets ≥ 5 mm (11.4 ± 13.1) compared to the OA (4.6 ± 11.0), BA (2.8 ± 5.1), and BAOA (3.9 ± 7.6) groups (p < 0.001). However, this difference was not significant after adjusting for confounders (p = 0.715). Tooth loss due to periodontitis during follow-up was also not significantly different among groups (p = 0.169). The need for invasive treatments was lower in OA and BAOA patients compared to Healthy patients, but this trend did not reach statistical significance (OR = 0.39, p = 0.063 for OA; OR = 0.44, p = 0.092 for BAOA).
conclusionThe presence of OA and/or BA does not appear to significantly influence the progression of periodontitis when controlling for confounding variables in a maintained patient population.
