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

aimsTo compare periodontitis prevalence estimates based on the Application of the 2018 periodontal status Classification to Epidemiological Survey data (ACES) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American Academy of Periodontology (CDC/AAP) classification. MATERIALS AND

methodsNational Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data for the years 2009/2010, 2011/2012 and 2013/2014 were survey-weighted and post-stratified to estimate the prevalence of periodontitis. Estimates based on ACES and CDC/AAP were cross-classified and stratified by age group. Prevalence estimates using different partial recording protocols were examined.

resultsUsing the ACES framework, the prevalence of adults with periodontitis was 93.1% (95% CI: 91.9-94.2) (Stage I: 17.9%; Stage II: 46.2%; Stage III: 16.7%; Stage IV: 12.4%). Complexity factors did not alter Stage II prevalence. The CDC/AAP classification yielded a periodontitis prevalence of 38.9% (95% CI: 36.4-41.4) (Mild: 3.5%; Moderate: 28.1%; Severe: 7.3%). Partial recording protocols resulted in increased prevalence in the lower stages of periodontitis.

conclusionsThe European Federation of Periodontology/American Academy of Periodontology Classification (using the ACES framework) overestimates periodontitis cases compared with the CDC/AAP classification. Including complexity factors in the ACES framework provides limited benefits in staging periodontitis. Partial-mouth recording protocols overestimate health and early disease stages while underestimating more severe disease.
