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

We aimed to investigate serum and gingival crevicular fluid levels of myeloperoxidase, interleukin-17, and interleukin-23 before and after nonsurgical periodontal therapy in generalized aggressive periodontitis patients and compare to those in healthy controls. Interleukin-17, interleukin-23, and myeloperoxidase levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in gingival crevicular fluid and serum samples taken from 19 systemically healthy generalized aggressive periodontitis patients and 22 healthy controls. In addition, the levels of IL-17, IL-23, and myeloperoxidase were reassessed at 3 months after periodontal therapy in the generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP) group. Periodontal clinical parameters were also evaluated at baseline and 3 months post-therapy. The investigated molecule levels in serum decreased significantly at 3 months as a result of the therapy (p = 0.014 for IL-17, p = 0.000 for IL-23, and p = 0.001 for myeloperoxidase (MPO)). Significant reductions were also observed in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) IL-17, IL-23, and MPO levels at 3 months after therapy (p = 0.000 for all molecules). However, the GCF levels of IL-17, IL-23, and MPO in GAP patients were still higher than those in the controls at 3 months (p = 0.001). A significant decrease in the local and systemic levels of IL-17, IL-23, and MPO based on the therapy might indicate the role of these mediators for tissue destruction in periodontal tissues.
