Effect of body shape and inflammation on tooth loss in men and women.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesAndroid and gynoid adiposity is differently involved on inflammatory responses in men or women in periodontitis and tooth loss. We tested the hypothesis whether identical waist-to-hip ratios (WHR) in men and women could abolish this disparity. MATERIALS AND
methodsData of 2746 participants from the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) were analysed. Men and women were 1:1 matched, N = 344:344, in three age strata for waist-to-hip ratio. We determined anthropometric measures, attachment loss, tooth loss and markers of systemic inflammation.
resultsWomen matched with men by WHR had increased periodontal measures as compared to women of the general population. Nevertheless, in the matched pairs incidence risk (IRR) ratios for any tooth loss associated with elevated C-reactive protein were IRR = 2.15 (CI 1.33-3.40) and 1.04 (0.66-1.66) in men and women, respectively. Regression with tooth loss due to any cause as dependent variable showed dose dependency on C-reactive protein levels in men but not in women. The adjusted IRR associated with high C-reactive protein in men was 1.37 (CI 1.05-1.78) and 2.63 (1.58-4.38) in general and in matched subjects, respectively.
conclusionSystemic inflammation was associated with tooth loss in men but not in women even in women with wide girth. Despite worsened periodontal measures and inflammation in women matched for body shape with men, these women do not lose more teeth even when they are exposed to increased markers of systemic inflammation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This is an attempt to disentangle the unclear relationship between obesity and periodontitis, both of them having public health relevance.
