Periodontitis was associated with mesial concavity of the maxillary first premolar: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
The association between the anatomical features of teeth and the pathogenesis of periodontitis is well-documented. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the mesial concavity of the maxillary first premolar on periodontal clinical indices and alveolar bone resorption rates. Employing a cross-sectional design, in 226 patients with periodontitis, we used cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) to examine the mesial concavity and alveolar bone resorption of 343 maxillary first premolar. Periodontal clinical indicators recorded by periodontal probing in the mesial of the maxillary first premolar in patients with periodontitis. Our findings indicate that the presence of mesial concavity at the cemento-enamel junction of the maxillary first premolar was not significantly influenced by either tooth position or patient sex (p > 0.05). Nonetheless, the mesial concavity at the cemento-enamel junction of the maxillary first premolar was found to exacerbate alveolar bone resorption and the inflammatory condition (p < 0.05). We infer that the mesial concavity at the cemento-enamel junction of the maxillary first premolar may contribute to localized alveolar bone loss and accelerate the progression of periodontal disease.
