Observational study in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06627972 (IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERIODONTAL CONDITION AND ASPROSIN LEVEL IN GINGIVAL CREVICULAR FLUID?), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

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.

Abstract

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the presence of asprosin hormone in the biological fluids of patients with periodontal inflammation and compare it to those with periodontal healthy. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy-five individuals between the ages of 18 to 45, 25 periodontal healthy, 25 with gingivitis, and 25 with periodontitis, were included in the study. Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), blood serum and saliva were obtained from individuals in each group. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and asprosin levels in these fluids were determined using the ELISA. Clinical periodontal measurements were recorded and body mass index was calculated. One-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests were performed for statistical analysis. Spearman test was used to evaluate correlations. The significance level was determined as p < 0.05.

resultsBody mass index values were not different between the groups (p = 0.446). Clinical periodontal measurements were significantly higher in the periodontitis group. Concentrations of TNF-α in GCF, serum and saliva increased significantly in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis (p < 0.001). The higher TNF-α levels were obtained in patients with periodontitis than in individuals with gingivitis (p = 0.001). While asprosin levels were found to be significantly higher in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis (p < 0.001), no significant difference was observed between both groups (p > 0.05). GCF-asprosin levels were positively correlated with the concentrations in serum and saliva in all individuals included in the study (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe periodontal inflammation caused an increase in asprosin hormone in gingival crevicular fluid independently of the type of periodontal disease.
