The impact of periodontitis on physical fitness: a systematic review.

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: This study aimed to review evidence of the impact of periodontitis on physical fitness. Methods: An electronic literature search using MeSH terms and keywords was performed in 6 electronic databases, protocol records, and other sources. Eligibility criteria included observational studies on the impact of periodontitis on physical fitness as primary outcome. No restrictions were placed on the language or date of publication. The quality of primary studies was assessed. GRADE was used to assess the quality of responses. Results: The initial search identified 5,389 records; of that number, 2,690 duplicates were removed. Following a screening by title and abstract and then full-text review, 7 studies were included for analysis. Six reported a significant relationship between periodontitis or mean probing depth/clinical attachment loss and physical fitness. Discussion: The increase in clinical attachment loss and probing depth/clinical attachment loss was associated with decreased handgrip strength and chance to reach the highest physical fitness test score, respectively. Increased mean probing depth was associated with VO Conclusions: Periodontitis and unfavourable periodontal parameters were associated with worse physical fitness.
