A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials shows no evidence that periodontal treatment during pregnancy prevents adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Article in Journal of the American Dental Association (1939), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
conclusionTreatment of periodontal disease with scaling and root planing (SRP) during pregnancy is unlikely to reduce the risk of preterm birth or low birth weight. CRITICAL SUMMARY ASSESSMENT: A meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials, including recently published high-quality studies, showed no evidence that SRP during pregnancy prevents preterm birth or other adverse pregnancy outcomes. EVIDENCE QUALITY RATING: Good.
