Assessment of periodontal condition using basic periodontal examination scores: A retrospective clinical study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Early detection of periodontal diseases remains inadequate in routine clinical practice, particularly in resource-limited settings where comprehensive periodontal assessment is often not feasible. Periodontal diseases represent a significant global oral health burden, with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis affecting substantial proportions of the adult population. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the periodontal status of patients attending a tertiary dental care facility in Durg district, Chhattisgarh, India, utilizing the Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) as a standardized screening instrument. Hence, a total of 999 patient records were analyzed, with periodontal evaluation performed using a World Health Organization periodontal probe across six dental sextants per individual. The study population showed a female predominance (58.6%) with a mean age of 31.4 ± 14.2 years. Results revealed that the majority of participants exhibited early-stage periodontal involvement, with 38% demonstrating mean BPE scores between 1.0 and 1.9, indicative of gingival inflammation with bleeding on probing. Thus, we show the high prevalence of early periodontal disease in this regional population and validate the utility of BPE as an efficient, practical screening instrument for community-based periodontal health assessment and timely therapeutic intervention.
