Osteoporosis/osteopenia as an independent factor associated with periodontitis in postmenopausal women: a case-control study.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
unlabelledThis study investigated whether osteoporosis/osteopenia has an influence on the progression of periodontitis in postmenopausal women. The findings highlight that postmenopausal women with osteoporosis/osteopenia had a greater chance of presenting periodontitis than those with normal bone mineral density, particularly among nonusers of osteoporosis medications and women with a greater number of remaining teeth, showing that osteoporosis/osteopenia has had an influence on the progression of periodontitis.
introductionThis study investigated whether osteoporosis/osteopenia has an influence on the progression of periodontitis in postmenopausal women and explored the effects of use of osteoporosis medication and tooth loss on this association.
methodsThis case-control study involved 521 postmenopausal women, with minimum age of 50 years, in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. Sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions/medications, and lifestyle habits were recorded. A complete periodontal examination was performed and periodontitis was diagnosed. Bone mineral density was evaluated through lumbar spine and femoral bone densitometry, obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Logistic regression was used to calculate the strength of association between the occurrences of osteoporosis/osteopenia and periodontitis.
resultsWomen with osteoporosis/osteopenia were twice as likely to present periodontitis, as were those with normal bone mineral density, even after adjusting for smoking, age, family income, and last visit to dentist (odds ratios (OR)adjusted=2.24, 95% CI [1.24-4.06], p=0.008). Among nonusers of osteoporosis medication (ORadjusted=2.51, 95% CI [1.33-4.73], p=0.004) and women with at least 10 remaining teeth (ORadjusted=2.50 95% CI [1.18-5.27], p=0.02), the odds ratio was higher and statistically significant.
conclusionsThese findings highlight that postmenopausal women with osteoporosis/osteopenia had a greater chance of presenting periodontitis than those with normal bone mineral density, particularly among nonusers of osteoporosis medications and women with a greater number of remaining teeth.
