1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPatients undergoing haemodialysis are more susceptible to infectious diseases, including periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate the Correlation between periodontal disease and serum markers in Yemeni haemodialysis patients.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 70 haemodialysis patients. Patient interviews, clinical examinations, and laboratory tests were performed to collect data. Serum levels of albumin, calcium, phosphorus, haemoglobin, ferritin, and creatinine were measured, with separate measurements for cystatin C The association between categorical variables was assessed using the chi-square test and Pearson's correlation coefficient, considering a significance level of p < 0.05.

resultsSignificant correlations were found between serum biomarkers and periodontal clinical parameters. Phosphorus, creatinine, albumin, ferritin, and creatinine levels correlated significantly with the Plaque Index (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.015, p = 0.018, and p = 0.03). While the Ferritin level showed significant correlations with both the Plaque Index and Miller Classes (r = 0.281, p = 0.018 and r = 0.258, p = 0.031), respectively. The Calcium level showed a significant correlation with the Gingival Index (r = 0.266, p = 0.027). Cystatin C level was statistically correlated with mobility (r = 0.258, p = 0.031). Also, the result showed a significant correlation between Creatinine levels and Periodontitis (r = 0.26, p = 0.03).

conclusionThis study provides evidence of a strong association between periodontal disease and chronic kidney disease in Yemeni haemodialysis patients. The findings emphasize the significance of maintaining good oral health in the care of haemodialysis patients.
