Systemic disease or periodontal disease? Distinguishing causes of gingival inflammation: a guide for dental practitioners. Part 1: immune-mediated, autoinflammatory, and hereditary lesions.
Article in British dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Periodontitis and gingivitis remain two of the most common diseases that affect the oral cavity. As they are caused by plaque, effective oral hygiene, elimination of plaque-retentive factors and successful periodontal treatment will result in resolution of gingival and periodontal inflammation. Certain systemic diseases can have a clinical appearance similar to periodontal diseases or exacerbate existing periodontitis/gingivitis and vice versa. This paper aims to provide the dental practitioner with an understanding of the manifestations of systemic diseases to the periodontium and highlights elements in the clinical assessment, which will aid in establishing a correct diagnosis. Additional anamnestic and clinical clues are important for distinguishing between plaque-induced and non-plaque-induced lesions. The first part of this compendium covers immune-mediated and hereditary conditions as causes of gingival lesions, which can resemble those caused by dental plaque. The different conditions are presented concisely and exemplified by clinical photographs. Dental practitioners should be aware of the various manifestations of systemic diseases to the periodontium in order to offer appropriate diagnosis and treatment, which can reduce both patient morbidity and mortality.
