Vitamin D binding protein and receptor prevalence in a large population with periodontitis: single nucleotide polymorphism and transcriptomic profiling.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundThere is an ongoing controversy regarding the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and binding protein (VDBP) genes, as well as their polymorphisms, in periodontitis. We examined eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed a transcriptome-level bioinformatics analysis to clarify their relationship with periodontitis.
methodsTo explore VDR and VDBP polymorphisms, 600 subjects were included, including 307 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and 293 healthy controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood collected from each subject. A MassARRAY system was used to detect SNPs, including rs1544410G/A (BsmI), rs2228570C/T (FokI), rs7975232G/T (ApaI), rs731236T/C (TaqI), rs739837G/T, rs9729G/T, and rs3847987C/A in the VDR gene, and rs7041A/C in the VDBP gene. Then, we analyzed transcriptome sequencing datas of gingival tissues from two single-cell transcriptome sequencing studies to identify differential expression profiles. The objective was to further explore the potential association between VDR gene and gingival tissues in individuals with CP.
resultsThe regression analysis model revealed a significant relationship between rs739837G/T (P = 0.04) and rs7041A/C (P = 0.03) polymorphisms and CP susceptibility. Subjects carrying the TT genotype of rs739837 showed a decreased risk of developing CP compared to those carrying the GG + GT genotype (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.29-0.99). Individuals carrying the AC + CC genotype of rs7041 showed a reduced risk of developing CP compared to those with the AA genotype (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.51-0.97). Furthermore, allele C of rs7041 was found to have a protective effect against periodontitis (P = 0.03, OR = 0.75, CI = 0.58-0.98). However, no association was found between CP susceptibility and six other 6 SNPs (rs1544410, rs2228570, rs7975232, rs9729, rs731236, and rs3847987). Differential levels of VDR transcription were observed in gingival tissues during CP.
conclusionsVDR genetic variability and transcriptional expression are significant factors affecting susceptibility to CP. These findings suggested that rs739837 TT in VDR and rs7041 A/C in VDBP may be protective against periodontitis.
