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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of lipids in patients with normal weight (NW) or obesity with or without chronic periodontitis (ChP). MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred and sixty non-smoking patients without history of diabetes and/or cardiovascular events were allocated into one of the following groups: NW patients with periodontal health (NWH; n = 40), NW patients with ChP (NWChP; n = 40), obese patients with periodontal health (ObH; n = 40), and obese patients with ChP (ObChP; n = 40). Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TRG) were estimated.

resultsAfter adjustments for gender and age, both NW groups presented lower levels of TRG than both obese groups (p < 0.05). The NWH group presented lower levels of LDL than both periodontitis groups (p < 0.05) and the lowest TC/HDL ratio when compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Females from the NWH group exhibited higher levels of HDL and lower LDL/HDL ratio than females from the ObChP group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, individuals from the ObChP group were more likely to have levels of LDL ≥130 mg/dl and HDL ≤40 mg/dl, compared to those from the NWH group (p < 0.05).

conclusionsChP and obesity, jointly or individually, are associated with undesirable pro-atherogenic lipid profiles. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: There is interest in identifying clinical conditions associated with dyslipidemia to improve preventive and treatment strategies. This study demonstrated that ChP, obesity, and the association of both conditions might be related to pro-atherogenic lipid profiles.
