Prevalence and Severity of Periodontal Disease in Diabetic Patients in South Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
introductionPoorly managed diabetes mellitus can elevate oral glucose levels, fostering gum disease. Conversely, untreated periodontal disease may worsen diabetes control. This study aims to assess the prevalence of periodontal disease and its association with diabetes characteristics in South Jordan.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 249 type 2 diabetic patients from Prince Hashim Bin Abdullah II Clinic in Aqaba, Jordan. Demographics, clinical history, and periodontal indices were recorded, with glycemic control measured via HbA1c. Statistical analyses utilized SPSS.
resultsPredominantly female (58%) and married (90%) participants had a mean age of 49.0 years, with uncontrolled diabetes prevalent in 86% (mean HbA1c: 9.16). Dyslipidemia (73%), hypertension (49%), and diabetic neuropathy (21%) were common. Periodontal indices indicated moderate to high scores, reflecting significant plaque accumulation (plaque index score (PIS) = 3: 20%), severe gingival inflammation (gingival index score (GIS) = 3: 22%), and notable bleeding upon probing (papillary bleeding index score (PBIS) = 3-4: 22%). Moreover, a considerable percentage exhibited advanced periodontal disease (community periodontal index score (CPIS) = 3-4: 19%).
conclusionA high prevalence of periodontal disease among diabetic patients in South Jordan underscores the need for integrated diabetes and periodontal care strategies. These findings emphasize the interplay between diabetes control and periodontal health, warranting further investigation into effective intervention strategies.
