Clinical and Demographic Profiling of Periodontal Diseases: A Retrospective Analysis Using the 2018 Periodontal Classification Algorithm.

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 research presented in this retrospective study aimed to investigate the prevalence of periodontal diseases within a population and explore potential demographic and clinical variations among patients diagnosed with periodontitis. The study involved the analysis of 104 patient records from the Periodontology Clinic at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Craiova, collected between 2018 and 2019. Utilizing the 2018 classification algorithm for periodontal diseases, patients were categorized into three groups: a control group without periodontal issues (Group H), a gingivitis group (Group G), and a periodontitis group (Group P). The collected data encompassed demographic information, oral hygiene indicators, and clinical parameters. Statistical analysis and graphical representation revealed notable trends, such as the higher prevalence of periodontitis (51%) compared to gingivitis (14%), with 35% of participants showing no signs of periodontal involvement. Detailed group analyses highlighted specific patterns, including a substantial male predominance among patients without periodontal issues and varying distributions of periodontal stages based on gender. Additionally, the study explored age-related variations, revealing an increasing average age from the control group (33.04 years) to the gingivitis group (34.86 years) and a significant rise in the periodontitis group (45.49 years). The findings underscore the importance of early detection and intervention in periodontal diseases and provide valuable insights for clinicians in tailoring individualized diagnostic and treatment approaches.
