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

Objective More patients visit oral surgery outpatient clinics from evening to night to treat persistent gingival bleeding (PGB) related to periodontal disease (PD) (PD-PGB). Since there are few reports on PD-PGB, the present study performed a detailed characterisation of this disease. Materials and methods Patients who visited our oral surgery clinic between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2022 to treat PD-PGB without trauma. Demographic data, systemic diseases and bleeding tooth characteristics were retrieved. The occurrence of systemic diseases was compared with that of the control group (patients consisting of temporomandibular joint dislocation and minor trauma). Results Among 295 patients with gingival bleeding (GB) unrelated to trauma, 193 patients (65.4%) showed postoperative bleeding, and 91 patients (30.1%) showed PD-PGB; 93.4% of patients over 60 years old showed PD-PGB. Patients in the PGB-RPD group showed a significantly higher percentage (57.1%) of taking anticoagulants and/or antiplatelets than the control group (24.2%) (P < 0.001) Significantly higher percentage of patients in the PGB-RPD group showed a significantly higher incidence of hypertension (68.1%) than the control group (34.1%) (P < 0.001). Bleeding is the most frequently observed in molars, with a depth of the pockets exceeding 4 mm. Conclusion PD-PGB accompanied by deep pockets was more common in older patients and aggravated by taking anticoagulants and/or antiplatelets and antihypertensives. PD-PGB is not rare, and periodontal maintenance, such as regular dental checks, is an important preventive measure.
