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: This study investigates the association between obesity and the prevalence of periodontopathic bacteria in obese/overweight individuals and healthy/normal-weight individuals, focusing mainly on the red complex organisms in individuals with and without periodontitis. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 14 participants (7 obese/overweight and 7 healthy weight individuals), further categorized into periodontitis and healthy periodontium groups. Body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio were measured, total cholesterol level was determined, and probing pocket depth was determined. Subgingival plaque samples were obtained and examined for the presence of Results: Obese patients had a significant association with Conclusion: Within the limitations of this pilot cross-sectional study, obesity was associated with an increased prevalence of
