Six-Month Follow-Up of Periodontal Condition in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis Arthritis Patients Undergoing Anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor-α Therapy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In our present study, we aimed to assess the effects of anti-TNF therapy on periodontal condition in a mixed cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Moreover, we wished to determine whether the baseline dental condition of these patients would affect response to biological therapy. A cohort of 24 arthritis patients was consecutively recruited before starting anti-TNFα therapy. After the dropout of six patients, we evaluated the dental status of 18 subjects at baseline and after 6 months of biological therapy. Clinical responder (R) and non-responder (NR) status was determined after 6 months of anti-TNF treatment.
