The systemic impact of periodontitis in about 100,000 patients: associations with heart diseases, cancer, and mortality.
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
objectivesPeriodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition of tooth-supporting tissues, is associated with adverse systemic health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, malignancies and premature mortality. Large-scale assessments remain limited. We analyzed real-world data of approximately 100,000 matched patients to clarify the broader health impact of periodontitis. STUDY
designIn this retrospective study, we identified two cohorts − 47,498 patients each with and without periodontitis (ICD-10-CM: K05.6) - from the TriNetX database, matched by age and gender. We evaluated outcomes over 19 years, including heart inflammations, heart disease, head and neck cancer, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and overall mortality. Propensity score matching, risk analyses and Kaplan–Meier survival statistics were employed.
resultsCompared to controls, patients with periodontitis exhibited higher risks of heart inflammations (OR: 3.06; 95% CI: 2.79–3.35), heart disease (OR: 2.40; 95% CI: 2.33–2.47), overall cancer (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.58–1.71), head and neck cancer (OR: 1.60; 95% CI: 1.31–1.96) and premature mortality (OR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.36–1.48). Median CRP levels were higher in the periodontitis group (39.30 vs. 35.79; p < 0.001).
conclusionPeriodontitis is associated with significantly increased adverse systemic health outcomes and higher mortality. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings underscore the importance of preventive oral care and enhanced patient surveillance.
