Socioeconomic status and self-reported periodontal symptoms in community-dwelling individuals: data from the Korea Community Health Surveys of 2011 and 2013.
Article in International dental journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the association between socioeconomic status and self-reported periodontal symptoms. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, data were used from the 2011 and 2013 Community Health Surveys. The 210,432 (weighted n = 36,294,413) and 220,396 (weighted n = 39,067,134) subjects, respectively, were aged 19 years or older. Proportional and systematic sampling was performed. Surveys were conducted by trained interviewers using computer-assisted personal interviewing. The proportions of subjects with tooth mobility, gingival swelling, calculus and gingival bleeding were calculated. Independent variables included sex, age and socioeconomic status measures (education, occupation and income). Differences in the self-reported periodontal symptoms rates according to socioeconomic status were determined using independent t-tests and one-way analysis of variance. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association of periodontal symptoms with socioeconomic status.
resultsApproximately 30% of the subjects reported at least one symptom of periodontal disease; 11.3% and 9.6% reported gingival bleeding and gingival swelling, respectively, while 5.6% and 3.5% reported dental calculus and tooth mobility, respectively. There were significant associations with self-reported periodontal symptoms according to occupation, education and income (P < 0.01).
conclusionsThe severity of self-reported periodontal symptoms differed according to socioeconomic status. Subjects with lower socioeconomic status reported more advanced periodontal disease symptoms, such as gingival swelling, while those with higher socioeconomic status reported more incipient periodontal symptoms, such as gingival bleeding. Socioeconomic status remains a factor affecting self-reported periodontal symptoms in community-dwelling individuals in Korea.
