Relationship between periodontal parameters and non-vital pulp in dental clinic patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundEndodontic diseases, such as apical periodontitis, communicate with periodontitis and mutually exacerbate them. However, it remains unclear whether pulp condition is a risk factor for periodontal disease. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine relations between pulp condition and periodontal parameters in Japanese patients who visited a general dental clinic.
methodsPatients who visited a Japanese general dental clinic from 2016 to 2018 and aged 18 to 81 years were analyzed. Periodontal parameters, tooth condition, and general status of all teeth excluding third molars at the initial visit to the clinic were abstracted. A total of 7105 teeth were analyzed in this study by multiple classification analysis and the Mann-Whitney U test. We also performed a sub-analysis of non-vital teeth, which evaluated the presence or absence of unfavorable root canal obturation and apical periodontitis diagnosed by X-ray.
resultsSignificant relations between periodontal parameters and non-vital pulp were observed by multiple logistic regression analyses (odds ratio = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.03-2.14) and multiple linear regression analysis (p < 0.001). Significant relations between unfavorable root canal obturation tooth with periodontal pocket depth (p = 0.00837) and BOP (p = 0.0145) were also observed by the Mann-Whitney U test.
conclusionsWe demonstrated potential relations between periodontal disease and non-vital pulp.
