Are lipid profiles true surrogate biomarkers of coronary heart disease in periodontitis patients?: A case-control study in a south Indian population.
Article in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundThere is abundant literature delving into whether periodontal infection contributes to atherosclerosis. However, whether periodontitis is a definite risk factor for atherosclerosis still remains empirical, with no systematic reviews or longitudinal studies to confirm this hypothesis. The prevalence of periodontitis and coronary artery disease also varies among racial and ethnic groups based on various factors such as diet, lifestyle, and genetic predisposition. This study was designed in a south Indian population with the aim of assessing and correlating the lipid levels (a surrogate biomarker for coronary heart disease) in patients with periodontitis and health.
aims(1) To assess the levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL), and triglycerides in periodontal disease, and health in a south Indian population. (2) To assess associations between elevated lipid profiles and periodontal disease. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis case control study included 60 individuals. Blood sampling for lipid levels and periodontal examination were performed for each study group. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Appropriate statistical tools like Chi-square (P<0.05) and student's "t" test were used. The lipid levels were separately regressed using logistic regression to determine any association with periodontitis cases.
resultsThe differences between the mean lipid levels of cases and controls were not statistically significant (P>0.05) after eliminating confounding factors. Odds Ratio=(Total cholesterol (1.005), HDL (0.971), LDL (1.006), VLDL (0.997), CHO-HDL (1.358), TGL (1.007), LDL-HDL (1.180)). The odds ratio stated that there is no significant relation between the lipid levels and periodontal condition. The above findings confirm that there is still no concrete evidence which determines if periodontitis is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Future periodontal interventional studies and assessment of genetic markers can ascertain the validity of this hypothesis.
conclusionThere is no association among periodontal disease and the levels of total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.
