Systemic disease or periodontal disease? Distinguishing causes of gingival inflammation: a guide for dental practitioners. Part 2: cancer related, infective, and other causes of gingival pathology.
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 6 papers.
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 are highly prevalent inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity, and typically are characterised by the presence of dental plaque. However, other causes of oral inflammation exist, which can resemble plaque-induced gingivitis and periodontitis, and may thus first be seen by a dental practitioner. This paper aims to provide dentists with an understanding of the manifestations of systemic diseases to the periodontium and highlights anamnestic and clinical clues important for distinguishing between plaque-induced and non plaque-induced lesions. In the first part of this series immune-mediated and hereditary conditions as causes of gingival lesions were discussed; this second part highlights cancer-related gingival lesions as well as those caused by specific pathogens, medication or malnutrition. A clear clinical, epidemiological and visual overview of the different conditions is provided. Early diagnosis of non plaque-related causes of gingival lesions can be vital for affected patients. Therefore, dental practitioners should be aware of the various manifestations of systemic diseases to the periodontium.
