Prophylaxis of Acute Attacks with a Novel Short-term Protocol in Hereditary Angioedema Patients Requiring Periodontal Treatment.

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
purposeC1-inhibitor (C1-INH) related hereditary angioedema (C1-INH-HAE) is a rare pathological condition caused by a deficiency or a functional alteration of serum protein C1-INH. Clinical manifestations are represented by recurrent, potentially life-threatening episodes of cutaneous or mucosal oedema. The present study analysed the effectiveness of a specific short-term prophylaxis protocol for the management of C1-INH-HAE patients requiring chronic periodontitis treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodsTen consecutive C1-INH-HAE patients with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis were treated by non-surgical periodontal therapy with a full-mouth scaling approach (FMS) in two sessions 24 h apart. All patients underwent a short-term prophylaxis protocol of acute attacks based on the association of attenuated androgen (danazol), from 5 days before the first FMS session to 2 days after the second FMS session, and C1-INH concentrate given 1 h before the first FMS session. Patients were examined for periodontal changes over a 6-month period.
resultsNone of patients developed complications or oedema up to 1 week postoperatively. Compared to baseline, scaling and root planing (SRP) treatment yielded, at 6 months, a statistically significant improvement in probing depth (PD) (baseline: 5.24 mm ± 0.85 mm vs 6 months: 2.96 ± 0.31 mm), clinical attachment level (CAL) (baseline: 5.46 ± 0.81 vs 6 months: 3.89 ± 0.38 mm), full-mouth bleeding score (FMBS) (baseline: 27.6 ± 2.2% vs 6 months: 18.5 ± 2.1%) and in full-mouth plaque score (FMPS) (baseline: 28.6 ± 2.4% vs 6 months: 21.66 ± 3.3%).
conclusionsThis study showed the clinical effectiveness of the reported prophylaxis protocol in preventing acute attacks in HAE patients requiring non-surgical periodontal treatment, with no complications up to 1 week after FMS.
