1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Periodontitis can cause systemic alterations associated with various oncological diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC), with little information on this possible association and its related factors. Objectives: To determine the association between periodontitis severity, CRC, and related factors in adult patients. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March 2025 at the Trujillo Regional Teaching Hospital and the "Dr. Luis Pinillos Ganoza" Regional Institute of Neoplastic Diseases - North IREN, Trujillo, Peru. A total of 320 adult patients were evaluated: 160 without colorectal cancer (non-CRC) and 160 with colorectal cancer (CRC). Inter- and intra-rater reliability was determined for the diagnosis of periodontitis, bleeding on probing (BOP), and dental plaque control (DPC). The corresponding specialist physician performed the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test, ordinal logistic regression, and binary logistic regression models, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: No association was found between the severity of periodontitis and CRC diagnosis in the evaluated population (p=0.068). The most common CRC stages were stage IV (48.1%) and stage III (39.4%), and the most common tumor locations were the rectum (40.0%) and sigmoid colon (36.3%). Conclusions: There is no association between the severity of periodontitis and CRC diagnosis.
