The Buffalo OsteoPerio Studies: Summary of our findings and the unique contributions of Robert J. Genco, DDS, PhD.
Article in Current oral health reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: Robert ("Bob") Genco was a member of the research team that established the Buffalo Osteoporosis and Periodontal Disease (OsteoPerio) study. Here we detail the scientific discoveries emanating from this enduring collaboration. Study cohorts: OsteoPerio is ancillary to the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS). WHI-OS is a longitudinal study of 93,000 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 enrolled at 40 U.S. centers (enrolled 1993-1998). OsteoPerio enrolled 1342 women 3 years later (1997-2001) from the Buffalo WHI-OS participants to study the association of osteoporosis and periodontal disease. OsteoPerio has 5-year (N=1026) and 17-year (N=518) follow-up examinations. Participants: In addition to information on health status from the WHI-OS, OsteoPerio further included comprehensive oral examinations assessing probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, gingival bleeding, alveolar crestal height, and DMFT. Systemic bone density (measured by DXA), blood, saliva and plaque also were collected at all three visits. Summary: Findings from these studies are summarized here.
