Periodontal Probing Depth Trajectory in 10 Years of Follow-Up as Associated With Tooth Loss.
Article in Journal of clinical periodontology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo elucidate whether ranked probing depth (PD) data translate into ranked PD outcomes after 10 years of follow-up and the associated tooth loss. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-START), all participants were retrospectively included with complete PD measurements in both baseline and 10-year follow-up, comprising 1887 participants. The trajectory of percentile-based quintiles of mean PD measurements was followed.
resultsQuintiles of mean PD at baseline were, in a dose dependent manner, associated with the number of teeth at baseline, number of teeth after 10 years and involved risk of tooth loss. The trajectory of membership to individual PD quintiles indicated that the majority of participants remained in or near their baseline quintile after reaching the 10-year end analysis. Periodontal risk factors assessed at baseline continued to affect PD outcomes at follow-up. Two categories of tooth loss were identified: 1-2 teeth lost versus ≥ 3 teeth and differentiated by baseline PD.
conclusionPD severity ranked within this population translates, in a dose-dependent manner, to follow-up tooth loss even after many years. This underlines the prospective importance of pocket probing in the dental practice. Ranked PD offers a simple measure to identify patients at high risk of tooth loss.
