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

introductionInterleukin-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with a wide range of protective and destructive effects in periodontitis. The role of IL-23 is stabilisation and expansion of Th-17. The aim of this study was to assess whether patients with aggressive and chronic periodontitis exhibit different gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 compared with clinically healthy subjects. MATERIAL AND

methodsGCF samples were obtained from 32 patients: 10 with chronic periodontitis (CP), 12 with aggressive periodontitis (AgP), and 10 healthy controls (HC). IL-23 and IL-17 concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Comparison of study groups was performed with ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to assess correlations between the variables.

resultsIL-17 concentration was significantly higher in the healthy group compared to the AgP and CP groups (p < 0.001), but there were no significant differences between the CP and AgP groups. IL-23 levels in the healthy group were significantly higher than that in the AgP group (p < 0.001). Cytokine concentrations did not correlate significantly with probing depths and clinical attachment levels.

conclusionsGingival crevicular fluid concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 were significantly higher in the healthy group compared to periodontitis groups.
