Status of the oral environment in patients with digestive system tumors during the perioperative period.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSurgery is an important treatment modality for patients with digestive system tumors, and perioperative management is crucial for the patients' recovery and quality of life. During the perioperative period, significant changes can occur in the oral environment of patients, such as dry mouth, mucosal ulceration, and oral infections. These issues not only cause discomfort to the patients but may also affect postoperative recovery and treatment outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to investigate and analyze the oral environment during the perioperative period in patients with digestive system tumors.
aimThis study aims to investigate the oral health status in patients with digestive system tumors during the perioperative period and analyze the influencing factors.
methodsIn this retrospective study, a total of 242 patients with digestive system tumors admitted to The Seventh Affiliated Hospital, Xinjiang Medical University from September 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study population (patient group). During the same period, 245 healthy volunteers who received oral examinations were selected as the healthy group. The study compared the oral hygiene environment of the two groups, including the Dental Plaque Index (DI), Calculus Index (CI), and Periodontal Disease Index (PDI). Measurements were taken at admission (T0), 1 hour before surgery (T1), and 3 days after surgery (T2). Based on the PDI index, the patient group was divided into a periodontal disease group (PDI ≥ 3, n = 196) and a periodontal healthy group (PDI < 3, n = 46). The risk factors for the development of periodontal disease in digestive system tumor patients were analyzed, considering variables such as gender, age, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption frequency, monthly income, tumor type, oral self-care habits, low-grade inflammation, and nutritional status.
resultsThe DI, CI and PDI indexes in patient group were higher than those in healthy group (3.23±0.64 vs 1.46±0.43, 1.92±0.46 vs 1.21±0.41, 3.83±0.79 vs 2.65±0.69, all
conclusionIt is important to enhance the attention and management of the oral environment during the perioperative period for patients with digestive system tumors.
