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 pathologies are highly widespread throughout the world. Epidemiological studies have shown that as much as 1% of the population is suffering from periodontal disease. In recent years, there has been a growing number of studies linking these diseases with autoimmune diseases, especially with rheumatoid arthritis. This literature review evaluates changes in the relationship between periodontal pathologies caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis and rheumatoid arthritis. The systematic review of the literature was performed according to the PRISMA analysis protocol. The review was performed with articles from the PubMed database. Searched articles were not older than 5 years. Only full texts and research performed with people were selected. A total of 56 results were received. A review and analysis of their full texts have been carried out and 10 articles were selected according to the established criteria. They were analyzed and results were presented. The results obtained from the literature were based on the influence of Porphyromonas gingivalis on the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. In the literature, the activity of this bacterium is explained by the analysis of its enzyme peptidylarginine deiminase and its principle of action. Studies have also been found to prove the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis not only in the oral cavity but its DNA is also found in synovial fluid and plasma. In the researched articles, direct links between Porphyromonas gingivalis and rheumatoid arthritis have led doctors to draw attention to patients' oral hygiene and the condition of parodentium, as this may be the cause of autoimmune lesions. Treatment of periodontal disease will not only help maintain a healthy oral cavity but prevent the spread of bacteria to the surrounding tissues.
