Ease and practicability of the 2017 classification of periodontal diseases and conditions: a study of dental electronic health records.
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 9 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
backgroundA new classification for Periodontal and Peri-implant Diseases and Conditions was introduced in the 2017 World Workshop. In the past the 1999 Armitage Classification was commonly used in practice. This study aimed to assess the ease and practicability of retroactively diagnosing a subset of patients formerly diagnosed using the 1999 AAP/CDC classification with the 2017 AAP/EFP disease classification.
methodsA random subset of 10% of all patients referred over a 7-year period (2011-2018) to the Post-Doctoral Periodontics Clinic at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine were reviewed by accessing the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) on axiUm. Patients diagnosed with periodontal disease based on the 1999 AAP/CDC classification (including chronic and aggressive Periodontitis) were reclassified using the 2017 classification (stage: I, II, III and grade: A, B, C).
resultsA sample of 336 patient records were examined. 132 were diagnosed with gingivitis, and 204 with periodontitis. Of these 204 patients, 68 (33.3%) were diagnosed with aggressive and 136 (66.7%) with chronic periodontitis. Patients diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis, 10% were reclassified as stage II, 47% as stage III, and 43% as stage IV periodontitis, and 100% were reclassified as grade C. Among patients with chronic periodontitis, 7% were reclassified as stage I, 65% as stage II, 21% as stage III, and 7% as stage IV; 11% of these were reclassified as grade A, 63% grade B, and 26% grade C.
conclusionsThe majority of those originally diagnosed with aggressive (90%) and chronic (80%) periodontitis were reclassified as either molar/incisor pattern stage III grade C or stage IV grade C periodontitis, and stage II or III periodontitis, respectively. The study demonstrated that it is practical to retroactively reassign a diagnosis according to the new 2017 classification using available information included in dental EHRs.
