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

This study was planned to investigate whether chronic periodontitis patients exhibit different plasma concentrations of C-telopeptide pyridinoline cross-links of type I collagen (ICTP) and osteocalcin (OC) compared to the clinically healthy controls. Before initiation of any periodontal intervention, plasma samples and full-mouth clinical periodontal recordings were obtained from 58 otherwise healthy patients with chronic periodontitis and also from 47 systemically and periodontally healthy control subjects. Plasma ICTP levels were determined by radioimmunoassay and OC levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Data were tested statistically using t test and ANOVA. The healthy control group exhibited significantly lower values in all clinical periodontal measurements (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the study groups in plasma ICTP and OC levels (P > 0.05). Within the limits of this study, it may be suggested that plasma levels of ICTP and OC may not provide distinguishing data between chronic periodontitis patients and clinically healthy subjects.
