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

The aim of this study was to systematically appraise the existing literature on the yet-unclear heritability of gingivitis and periodontitis. This review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. A search was conducted through the electronic databases Medline, Embase, LILACS, Cochrane Library, Open Grey, Google Scholar, and Research Gate, as complemented by a hand search, for human studies reporting measures of heritability of gingivitis and periodontitis. A total of 9,037 papers were initially identified from combined databases and 10,810 on Google Scholar. After full-text reading, 28 articles met the inclusion criteria and were carried forward to data abstraction. The reviewed data included information from >50,000 human subjects. Meta-analyses were performed by grouping studies based on design and outcome. Heritability ( H
