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

Periodontal disease (POD) is associated with the risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease in patients on hemodialysis (HD). The association between POD treatment and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is still unknown. A total of 3613 patients who received HD and intensive POD treatment between 1 January 1998, and 31 December 2011 were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database as the treatment cohort. The comparison cohort comprised patients without POD treatment who were matched to the patients in the treatment cohort at a 1:1 ratio by the propensity score. All CVDs defined by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)) codes were ascertained by hospital records for nonfatal events. The first CVD was used to define incidence. Relative risks were estimated by hazard ratios from the Cox proportional hazard model with adjustment for demographic variables and cardiovascular risk factors. Compared with the comparison cohort, the adjusted hazard ratio of hospitalization for CVDs was 0.78 (95% confidence interval = 0.73⁻0.84,
