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: Stress plays a crucial role in the development of periodontal diseases, along with other behavioral factors. Professions with high-stress levels, like the Indonesian National Army, face challenges due to demanding requirements on skills, physical endurance, and mental strength. This study aims to explore the oral and periodontal health of soldiers, with a focus on the relationship between stress levels and periodontal conditions in soldiers from Kodam Jaya. Methods: The research method is observational with a cross-sectional approach involving 48 male respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. All participants completed ten closed-ended questionnaires about emotions and thoughts over the past month, along with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Data processing was analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, including Spearman's correlation. Results: The analysis of stress levels among soldiers shows that the light category includes 11 individuals (22.9%), the moderate category consists of 29 individuals (60.4%), and the heavy category includes 8 individuals (16.7%). Therefore, out of the total 48 responses, the moderate stress level is the most common among soldiers. In terms of the distribution of BoP examinations, 7 cases (14.6%) met the healthy criteria, 2 cases (4.2%) met the mild criteria, 5 cases (10.4%) met the moderate criteria, and 34 cases (70.8%) met the severe criteria. The correlation between stress level and periodontal tissue health at BoP examination shows a moderate relationship with an r-value of 0.407 and a Conclusion: There is a notable link between stress and periodontal tissue health, along with the Bleeding on Probing (BoP) assessment, in soldiers from Kodam Jaya.
