A controlled clinical study of periodontal health in anticoagulated patients: Assessment of bleeding on probing.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAccording to the Spanish Society of Cardiology, 700,000 patients receive oral anticoagulants, and in these cases bleeding on probing (BOP) could be altered. However, no studies have analyzed the periodontal status of these patients and the effects anticoagulants may have upon BOP. A study was made of the possible relationship between plaque index, probing depth, INR (International Normalized Ratio) and acenocoumarol dose versus the clinical signs of BOP in a sample of anticoagulated patients. Likewise, an analysis was made of oral hygiene habits and attitude towards bleeding in these patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsA controlled observational clinical study was made in La Ribera Hospital (Valencia, Spain) involving 44 anticoagulated patients treated with Sintrom® (acenocoumarol) and a homogeneous control group of 44 non-anticoagulated patients. A survey on oral hygiene habits and attitude towards bleeding was carried out, and the main periodontal parameters were recorded.
resultsProbing depth was the parameter with the strongest correlation to BOP (
conclusionsWe have found no explanation why BOP was greater in the control group. What seems clear is that in the presence of the same plaque index and probing depth, anticoagulated patients did not bleed more than non-anticoagulated patients. A lack of knowledge of health and oral hygiene habits was observed in these subjects.
