Endpoints of Periodontal Therapy in Elderly Patients With Stage III/IV Periodontitis and Their Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Following 10 Years of Supportive Periodontal Therapy.
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 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 investigate clinical endpoints of periodontal therapy after steps 1 and 2 of therapy and their association with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) following long-term supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). MATERIALS AND
methodsForty-seven patients receiving SPT for 126 ± 30 months were included. Clinical endpoints of therapy, as proposed by the EFP (PPD ≤ 3 mm, ≤ 5 mm without bleeding on probing), and a treat-to-target endpoint (T2T; ≤ 4 sites with PPD of ≥ 5 mm) were determined following steps 1 and 2 of therapy (T1) and were associated with patients' OHRQoL using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP)-14 as well as tooth loss (TL) and self-reported tooth migration 126 ± 30 months after step 2 (T2).
resultsOne patient achieved the EFP endpoint and 16 achieved T2T, and 30 patients failed to achieve any endpoint at T1. OHRQoL at T2 did not differ significantly between patients achieving or not achieving the endpoints (p = 0.485). Self-reported tooth migration during the examination period was significantly associated with poorer OHRQoL (p = 0.009).
conclusionsOHRQoL has become a major subject of periodontal research. Within the limitations of this study, achieving clinical endpoints does not seem to affect patients' OHRQoL following long-term SPT. Patients reporting on tooth migration, however, showed significantly reduced OHRQoL. Besides clinical endpoints, functional and aesthetic complaints of periodontally compromised patients should be considered when evaluating the success of therapy.
