Association between Pediatric Obesity and Periodontal Health: A Systematic Review.
Review in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically in a rather short period, doubling for adults and tripling in children and adolescents. An increasing amount of data points to a close connection between pediatric obesity and periodontal health. Objective: This systematic review aimed to determine the association between pediatric obesity and periodontal health and to evaluate how pediatric obesity influences periodontal disease. Methods: Two authors independently reviewed the papers for inclusion, extracted data, and evaluated research quality by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Research and Meta-Analysis) standards. By analyzing databases such as PubMed and Medline, a qualitative study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between pediatric obesity and periodontal disease. PROSPERO provided the registration number (CRD42024504231) for this study protocol. Results: The total number of research studies identified in the data search was screened, checked for eligibility, and included studies' characteristics showing the association between pediatric obesity and periodontal disease were summarized. Qualitative analysis of the included studies resulted in the assessment of the association between pediatric obesity and periodontal disease. Conclusion: Although the evidence was of inadequate quality, pediatric obesity might have an adverse influence on periodontal disease. To prove causation, more excellent longitudinal studies using standardized evaluations are required. Trial registration: The present protocol was registered on 30 How to cite this article: Pasupuleti MK, Peddi R, Penmetsa A,
