The Burden of Severe Periodontitis in China From 1990 to 2021, With Projections to 2050: A Comprehensive Analysis From The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.
Article in International dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundThe study aims to explore the epidemiologic information related to severe periodontitis in China.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study to delineate the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to severe periodontitis in China, stratified by age and gender. A range of analytical methods, including comparative analysis, trend analysis, decomposition analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, health inequality analysis, and predictive modeling, were employed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the disease burden.
resultsThe GBD 2021 estimated the annual age-standardized prevalence, incidence and DALYs of severe periodontitis in China to be 0.97% (95% CI: 0.83, 1.10), 10.80% (95% CI: 8.88, 12.78), and 70.15 per 100,000 (95% CI, 27.97, 144.15), respectively. The burden was higher in males than in females, with a marked increase observed in middle-aged and elderly populations. Trend analysis revealed a general rise in the burden of severe periodontitis in China over time. Decomposition analysis identified population growth and aging as the principal drivers of the increase in disease burden. Health inequality analysis indicated a growing disparity related to the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI), with a disproportionate burden concentrated in regions with higher SDI. Projections suggest that the burden of severe periodontitis in China will remain substantial from 2022 through 2050.
conclusionFuture public health initiatives should prioritize enhancing the management of middle-aged and elderly populations, while simultaneously advancing public health systems in tandem with economic growth. These efforts are critical to effectively addressing the challenges posed by population growth and aging.
