Association between life's essential 8 and periodontitis: a population-based study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundThe American Heart Association has developed a novel cardiovascular health indicator called Life's Essential 8 (LE8). However, no one has reported using LE8 to assess periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the association between LE8 and periodontitis in American adults.
methodsData from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2014 were used for this investigation. LE8 was the independent variable, and it is divided into three grades: high, moderate, and low. Periodontitis was the dependent variable, and the classification of periodontitis was based on the criteria of Eke in 2012. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore the relationship between LE8 and periodontitis.
resultsA total of 9,039 participants with an average age of 52.16 ± 14.21 years were enrolled in this study, of whom 48.29% were male and 51.71% were female. The mean and standard deviation of LE8 was 66.29 ± 14.57, and the prevalence of periodontitis was 50.48% overall. The LE8 score and periodontitis in the fully adjusted logistic regression model showed a negative correlation (OR = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99, p < 0.001). This result persisted when Life's Essential 8 was categorized into low, moderate, and high groups. Compared with those in the lowest group, those in the highest LE8 group had a 47% decreased risk of periodontitis (OR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.46-0.66, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThis cross-sectional investigation revealed a negative relationship between the LE8 score and the likelihood of periodontitis.
