Treatment effects and periodontal status of chronic periodontitis after routine Er:YAG laser-assisted therapy.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundRoutine preclinical interventions for patients with chronic periodontitis such as supragingival cleaning and subgingival curettage, establishing a balanced occlusal relationship, and irrigation with 3% hydrogen peroxide can relieve the symptoms to some extent. However, there is room for improvement in the overall effect. For example, Er:YAG lasers can quickly increase the temperature of the irradiated tissue, effectively eliminate dental plaque and calculus, reduce periodontal pockets, adjust periodontal microecology, and reduce the gingival sulcus. The content of factors in the liquid, and then achieve the purpose of treatment.
aimThe aim was evaluate the effect of Er:YAG laser-assisted routine therapy on the periodontal status in chronic periodontitis.
methodsBetween October 2018 and January 2020, 106 patients with chronic periodontitis in our hospital were randomly assigned to either the study or control group, with 53 patients in each group. The control group underwent routine therapy, and the study group underwent Er:YAG laser therapy in addition to routine therapy. We evaluated the treatment outcome in both groups. Periodontal status was determined by clinical attachment loss (CAL), gingival index (GI), periodontal probing depth (PD), dental plaque index (PLI), and sulcular bleeding index (SBI), inflammatory factors in the gingival crevicular fluid, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8], and colony forming units (CFUs).
resultsTotal effectiveness in the study group (94.34%) was higher than that in the control group (79.25%,
conclusionCombining Er:YAG lasers with routine measures significantly improved the overall periodontal therapy outcomes by improving periodontal status and reducing oral levels of inflammatory factors and CFUs.
