Dietary zinc intake is inversely associated with the risk of hypertension in the periodontitis population.

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: Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease, which is closely related to the development of several chronic diseases, including hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between dietary zinc intake and the risk of hypertension in a periodontitis population. Methods: We used a cross-sectional study design to select 10,061 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2014. The diagnosis of periodontitis was based on measurements of periodontal probing depth and clinical attachment loss. Dietary zinc intake was assessed using a 24-h dietary review survey. We used logistic regression analysis to assess the relationship between dietary zinc intake and hypertension, and stratified analysis and interaction tests to investigate the relationship between dietary zinc and hypertension in groups such as gender, ethnicity, and education. Results: Among United States adults with periodontitis, the risk of developing hypertension decreased by 1% for every 1 mg increase in daily dietary zinc intake (OR = 0.99, Conclusion: This study provides evidence that dietary zinc intake reduces the risk of hypertension in periodontitis patients. These findings suggest that monitoring and optimizing zinc nutritional status in periodontitis populations is important for hypertension prevention and treatment.
