Clinical results after nonsurgical therapy in aggressive and chronic periodontitis.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimThis study aims to analyze factors influencing treatment results in aggressive (AgP) and chronic (ChP) periodontitis.
methodsChP [probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥ 3.5 mm, attachment loss ≥ 5 mm at >30 % of sites; age > 35 years] and AgP (clinically healthy; PPD ≥ 3.5 mm at >30 % of sites, radiographic bone loss ≥ 50 % at 2 teeth; age ≤ 35 years) were examined prior and 3 months after nonsurgical therapy according to the full-mouth disinfection concept. Adjunctive systemic antibiotics were used if Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans had been detected at baseline.
resultsIn 31 ChP (12 female, 10 smokers; 4,808 sites) and 28 AgP (16 female, 9 smokers; 4,769 sites), overall mean PPD reductions were less favorable in AgP (0.9 ± 0.5 mm) than in ChP (1.3 ± 0.4 mm; p = 0.033). PPD reductions and relative vertical probing attachment level gain were more favorable at sites with initial PPD ≥ 6 mm, bleeding on probing, and for adjunctive systemic antibiotics. Furthermore, PPD reductions were more favorable for increased baseline tooth mobility and maxillary teeth, whereas AgP, female sex, and multirooted teeth were associated with less favorable PPD reduction.
conclusionRegarding PPD reduction, AgP responded less favorably to nonsurgical treatment than ChP.
