Association Between Glycemic Parameters and Severity of Periodontitis in Nepal: A Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2026. 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
Background: Periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth and has been strongly associated with systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus. Poor glycemic control has been reported to exacerbate periodontal tissue destruction; however, evidence from many developing countries remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association between glycemic parameters and periodontitis severity in a hospital-based population in Nepal. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 396 adult patients attending the dental outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Nepal. Participants were categorized according to the severity into mild ( Results: Glycemic parameters worsened with increasing severity of periodontitis. Patients with severe periodontitis had markedly increased levels of FBG, PPBS, and HbA1c in comparison to those with mild and moderate periodontitis ( Conclusions: Severe periodontitis was significantly associated with worsening glycemic status. Of all the assessed glycemic markers, HbA1c exhibited the most robust relationship with periodontal destruction. These findings highlight the importance of glycemic control in periodontal health and support the need for integrated medical-dental management strategies for patients with metabolic disorders.
