Association between red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio and periodontitis in US adults: A cross-sectional study.

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
Research on the potential relationship between RAR and periodontitis remains unclear. This study examines the association between RAR and periodontitis among US adults, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2009-2014). Weighted multivariate logistic regression analyses, restricted cubic spline curve (RCS) models, and subgroup analyses were utilized to evaluate the relationship between RAR and periodontitis. Additionally, sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the robustness of the results. This study included 8529 participants, 3928 (46.05%) with moderate or severe periodontitis. After full adjustment for potential confounders, RAR was significantly associated with periodontitis (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.02-1.49). When RAR were categorized as 4 groups, periodontitis were possibly associated with Q2 (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.86-1.21), Q3 (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.09-1.58), Q4 (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.95-1.54). The RCS models indicated a nonlinear association between RAR and periodontitis (P < .001). Additionally, subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses validated the robustness of the finding regarding the association. This study suggests that higher RAR level was associated with higher odds of periodontitis.
