1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Periodontal disease is associated with diabetes mellitus and poor overall health. While the biological underpinnings of this relationship have been identified, less is known about the extent to which this relationship is affected by dental and medical care visits. Two studies lead by the primary author (KKP) explored the likelihood of diabetes complications among persons living with diabetes in Ontario, Canada, who were followed prospectively in administrative health data. The results from both studies confirmed that poor to fair self-reported oral health was associated with a greater risk for diabetes complications, and that poor dental and medical care visiting behaviours increased this risk. In general, the findings indicate that a greater number of dental and medical visits had a protective effect on the overall health of persons with diabetes. This discovery has important implications for all health care providers interested in managing oral and systemic health.
