Increased risk of lung cancer in Taiwanese female patients with chronic periodontitis: A nationwide population-based cohort study.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 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
Background/purpose: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death globally. However, the association between chronic periodontitis (CP) and lung cancer risk is still not very clear. The aim of study was to investigate whether the Taiwanese female patients with CP might have increased risk of lung cancer using a nationwide registry dataset in Taiwan. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted by using Taiwanese Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. A total of 86,886 patients who were newly diagnosed with CP from 2001 to 2012 were selected. A 1:1 propensity-matched healthy patients without any type of periodontal diseases were captured randomly from the general population. The risk of lung cancer was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression models between CP and non-CP cohorts. Results: 639 and 614 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer were found in CP and non-CP cohorts, respectively. CP cohort exhibited a borderline significantly increased risk of lung cancer (relative risk:1.01 95 % CI: 0.90-1.12) as compared with non-CP cohort. The subgroup analysis of hazard ratio for sex difference, Conclusion: Taken together, the results of this nationwide population-based cohort study indicate that the Taiwanese female patients with CP exhibited a significantly higher risk of lung cancer than those female patients without CP.
