Systemic Condition, Periodontal Status, and Quality of Life in Obese Women During Pregnancy and After Delivery.
Article in International dental journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveTo evaluate the systemic condition, periodontal status, and quality of life of obese women during pregnancy and after delivery.
methodsThis prospective cohort consisted of 60 women examined in the third trimester of pregnancy (32nd-36th gestational week [T1]) and after delivery (T2) and were divided into elevated body mass index (BMI; GO = 30) and normal BMI (GN = 30) according to the World Health Organization. The variables assessed were: (1) gestational weight gain, arterial hypertension (AH), and diabetes mellitus; (2) oral hygiene behaviour (frequency of dental floss using and toothbrushing); (3) probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and dental biofilm; and (4) quality of life (Oral Health Impact Project [OHIP]-14). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Friedman, Cochran's Q and χ
resultsGO showed a higher frequency of AH in T1 (P < .001). Both groups decreased the frequency of dental floss use (P = .013) and toothbrushing (P < .001) and increased the percentage of dental biofilm in T2 (P < .001). GO presented a greater PPD and CAL in T1 and T2 and higher BOP in T1 (P < .001), demonstrating a negative impact in the following dimensions of Oral Health Impact Project-14 during T1 functional limitation (P = .020), physical disability (P = .020), and handicap (P = .021).
conclusionObese women presented higher prevalence of AH during pregnancy and higher prevalence of periodontitis in both periods. They showed a poor quality of life in T1 regarding functional limitation, physical disability, and handicap.
