Cross-sectional study on oral frailty in elderly patients with periodontitis in Anhui.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
objectiveTo investigate the status of oral frailty in elderly patients with periodontitis in Anhui province and analyze the influencing factors.
methodClinical data of elderly patients with periodontitis admitted to the Department of Periodontology and Oral Medicine, Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from January 2024 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether oral frailty occurred, the patients were divided into the non-oral frailty group (n = 193) and oral frailty group (n = 1113). Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the related factors that may affect oral frailty.
resultsThe incidence of oral frailty in elderly patients with periodontitis was 85.2%. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that smoking and drinking; periodontitis, with 1, 2, 3 or more chronic diseases, 16–20 natural teeth and < 16 teeth, subjective masticatory difficulties, prefrail and frail were the risk factors for oral frailty in elderly patients with periodontitis (P < 0.05). Moderate level and high level of oral health-related quality of life were protective factors for oral frailty in elderly patients with periodontitis (P < 0.05).
conclusionElderly patients with periodontitis demonstrating smoking habits, alcohol consumption, periodontitis, comorbidities, < 20 natural teeth, subjective masticatory difficulties, frailty and poor oral health-related quality of life show elevated risks of oral frailty. This study identifies critical risk factors warranting clinical attention, though therapeutic interventions require further investigation through interventional studies.
