Endometriosis-Associated Periodontal Disease: A Large Cohort Perspective Study.
Article in Oral diseases, 2026. 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
objectiveEndometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent gynecological disease affecting millions of women worldwide. Besides its well-established impact on reproductive health, emerging evidence suggests a potential association between endometriosis and periodontal disease. The present study discusses the interplay between the two diseases, exploring shared immunopathological mechanisms, including chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and immune system modulation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA 45-question standardized questionnaire was answered by 4072 women clinically diagnosed with endometriosis to identify self-reported periodontal status, oral hygiene habits, and systemic symptoms.
resultsFindings report that more severe stages of endometriosis are related to increased awareness of periodontal disease, greater gingival bleeding, xerostomia, and mucosal alterations. Moreover, greater diagnostic latency aggravates both systemic and oral disorders, supporting the necessity of early treatment. These findings highlight the need for a single, multidisciplinary standard of patient care involving gynecologists, dentists, dental hygienists, and other healthcare providers.
conclusionBy connecting gynecological and dental care, this study aims to promote awareness, facilitate early diagnosis, and improve quality of life for women suffering from endometriosis. Future research must explore mechanisms linking the conditions and assess therapeutic approaches to alleviate oral health issues in these individuals.
