Inhibition of periodontitis progression by a non-steroidal inhibitor of steroid sulfatase in healing-impaired conditions: a preclinical rodent model pilot experiment.

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
purposeThis study investigated the potential effect of increasing systemic cholesterol sulfate (CS) levels by applying a non-steroidal inhibitor of steroid sulfatase (STS inhibitor) on the progression of periodontitis in osteoporosis-induced rats.
methodsA total of 16 ovariectomized female Sprague-Dawley rats were used, and periodontitis was induced by placing non-resorbable suture material around the maxillary second molars bilaterally for 5 weeks. During this period, the animals received either STS inhibitor-mixed feed (high-CS group, n=8) or conventional feed (control group, n=8). At 5 weeks after periodontitis induction, histologic outcomes were statistically compared between the 2 groups (
resultsThe high-CS group showed significantly shorter distances between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and the apical location of the junctional epithelium at proximal sites (0.12 mm shorter on average) and between the CEJ and the alveolar bone crest at proximal sites (0.19 mm shorter on average) compared with the control group. The mean areal percentage of alveolar bone within the furcation area was also significantly higher in the high-CS group (11.82% higher on average) than in the control group.
conclusionsIncreasing systemic CS levels may suppress periodontal tissue destruction caused by periodontitis in ovariectomized rats.
