Association Between Periodontitis and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study investigated the association between periodontitis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), with particular attention paid to sex differences. MATERIAL AND
methodsParticipants aged 40-74 years who underwent health examinations were included. Logistic regression analyses were conducted with MASLD as the dependent variable and periodontitis and other variables as independent variables. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated separately for men and women. The women were divided into three age groups (40-49, 50-59, and 60-74 years) to account for the influence of sex hormones. Interaction analyses were performed to examine sex differences in the association between periodontitis and MASLD.
resultsThe OR for MASLD was significantly higher for women with moderate or severe periodontitis than for those without periodontitis [1.40 (95% CI: 1.04-1.89) and 1.64 (95% CI: 1.04-2.59)]. Periodontitis was associated significantly with MASLD among women aged 50-59 years, but not among women in other age groups or men. A significant multiplicative, but not additive, interaction between sex and periodontitis was found to affect the risk of MASLD.
conclusionsPeriodontitis was associated with MASLD in women. The association of periodontitis with MASLD may differ between men and women.
