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

aimTo evaluate the periodontal condition of individuals with different susceptibility to dental biofilm-induced gingivitis 25 years after their classification as high responders (HR) or low responders (LR) to plaque.

methodsForty-eight systemically and periodontally healthy young adults who participated in a 21-day experimental gingivitis trial in 2000-2001 and exhibited either markedly pronounced (HR, n = 24) or milder (LR, n = 24) gingival inflammation despite similar supragingival plaque exposure were invited to a follow-up visit, during which a periodontal diagnosis was established.

resultsNine LR and eight HR individuals accepted to participate. Among the LR participants, six (67%) were diagnosed as periodontally healthy or with gingivitis, whereas 100% of HR participants were diagnosed with periodontitis (p = 0.009). Compared to LR, HR individuals presented higher bleeding on probing score (39.5% ± 13.8% vs. 15.0% ± 10.1%; p = 0.003) as well as a higher proportion of visibly inflamed sites (p < 0.001). Intergroup differences could not be explained by other variables, including full-mouth plaque score, oral hygiene habits or adherence to supportive care.

conclusionsThis study, based on a very limited sample size and therefore hypothesis-generating rather than confirmatory, suggests that susceptibility to biofilm-induced gingivitis may help identify individuals at different risks of periodontitis.
