Effects of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on serum creatinine level in systemically healthy individuals with periodontitis: An interventional study.
Article in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Several studies have suggested a relationship between periodontitis and serum creatinine levels. Both low and high serum creatinine levels have been reported in individuals with periodontitis. The impact of periodontal therapy on serum creatinine levels has not been fully investigated yet. The aim of the study is to estimate the influence of nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on serum creatinine levels in systemically healthy individuals with periodontitis at stage II and stage III with grade A and grade B. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight systemically healthy individuals included in the study were divided into Group A (GA) (Periodontally healthy) and Group B (GB) (Periodontitis: stage II and III with grade A and grade B). Gingival index, sulcular bleeding index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, body mass index, and serum creatinine levels were recorded at baseline for both GA and GB, 90 days after NSPT for GB only. Collected data were analyzed statistically. Results: Serum creatinine levels in GB were significantly higher when compared with GA and serum creatinine levels in GB before and 90 days after NSPT were statistically insignificant. Conclusions: Serum creatinine levels were higher in individuals with periodontitis when compared with periodontally healthy individuals and NSPT has no considerable influence on the serum creatinine levels in individuals with periodontitis. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.
