The correlation between body mass index and the effectiveness of non-surgical periodontal treatment in Taiwan population.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveObesity and periodontitis are recognized as a major public health problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of different body mass index(BMI) groups to non-surgical periodontal treatment(NSPT).
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records, including baseline medical information and BMI, of patients with periodontal disease. We also analyzed periodontal indices, including periodontal pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), before and after NSPT to assess the correlation between BMI and the effectiveness of NSPT.
resultsA total of 147 patients participated in this study, including 88 individuals in the normal BMI group with an average age of 49.02 ± 10.05 years and 59 individuals in the high BMI group with an average age of 48.15 ± 8.78 years. The results showed that the periodontal index of the abnormal BMI group was higher than that of the normal BMI group both before and after NSPT. NSPT had significant effects on patients with periodontitis in both the normal and abnormal BMI groups. The abnormal BMI group exhibited a significantly higher change in the percentage of PD ≧ 4 mm compared to the normal BMI group (p = 0.019).
conclusionDespite the fact that Taiwan individuals have lower BMI groupings, those with abnormal BMI exhibit less favorable periodontal indices compared to those with normal BMI. However, NSPT has shown promising results in improving periodontal disease among individuals with abnormal BMI. Encouragement should be given to individuals with generalized severe periodontitis and a high BMI to actively consider receiving periodontal treatment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Despite generally lower BMI in Taiwan, individuals with abnormal BMI exhibit less favorable periodontal health. NSPT shows promise in improving their periodontal condition. Tailored interventions may enhance periodontal outcomes.
