Low bone density and periodontal disease in postmenopausal women: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 and Aim: Osteoporosis has been reported among many postmenopausal women (PMW). Studies also evaluated the link between osteoporosis and periodontitis. However, to date, the relationship between these two conditions remains unclear. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the current literature to answer the PECO question "Is there a relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and periodontitis in terms of clinical attachment loss among PMW?" Methodology: Two authors independently searched the major databases using various MesH terms and keywords to identify and screen studies that fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Critical appraisal tools were used to measure the methodological quality of included studies. GRADE evaluation and meta-analysis were also performed. Results: Seventeen studies (3689 participants) were finally included in the review. The majority of the included studies ( Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis found a relationship between low BMD/osteoporosis and periodontitis. However, more longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are required to support the findings of this review.
