Periodontitis associated with prostate cancer and other urological cancers in patients over 50 years of age: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundPeriodontitis triggers systemic inflammatory reactions that may be associated with different oncological diseases, such as prostate cancer (PC), although little information exists on the possibility of this association. To determine whether periodontitis is associated with PC and other non-metastatic urological cancers in patients over 50. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between August and September 2024 at the outpatient clinic of the Belén de Trujillo Hospital (HBT) and the Regional Institute of Neoplastic Diseases "Dr. Luis Pinillos Ganoza" - IREN Norte (IREN), in Trujillo, Peru. In total, 192 patients were evaluated: 64 with PC, 64 with non-prostatic urological cancer (NPUC), and 64 with non-oncological urological disease (NOUD). Reliability was determined through inter- and intra-evaluator calibration to diagnose periodontitis, gingivitis inflammation, and plaque control. The corresponding specialist physician diagnosed PC, NPUC, and NOUD. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests, including nonparametric multiple comparison tests, with a significance level of p<0.05.
resultsAn association between periodontitis and PC was found in patients over 50. PC was also directly associated with moderate periodontitis (p=0.014) and generalized gingivitis inflammation (p=0.019). Concerning NPUC, an association was found with periodontal pockets of 3.5 - 5.5 mm (p=0.031) and last visit to the dentist more than one year ago (p=0.012).
conclusionsThere was an association between periodontitis and PC in patients over 50. Patients with moderate periodontitis and generalized GI were more likely to present PC compared with patients with NOUD. In addition, there was a greater probability of presenting PC versus NPUC in patients with periodontal pockets of 3.5-5.5 mm and in those whose last visit to the dentist was more than one year ago.
