Risk of deep vein thrombosis in patients with periodontitis: A nationwide population-based cohort study in Taiwan.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 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/purpose: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) constitutes the considerable morbidity worldwide. However, no studies have specifically evaluated the association between DVT and periodontitis. This study aimed to explore the potential correlation between periodontitis and the likelihood of developing DVT with a comprehensive population-based analysis. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was implemented from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Adult individuals with newly diagnosed periodontitis between 2000 and 2019 were matched in a 1:1 ratio with non-periodontitis counterparts, employing propensity scores to harmonize the baseline characteristics. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was employed to assess the risk of DVT with periodontitis. Results: Totally, 1426 and 1177 DVT were found in the periodontitis group and non-periodontitis group, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a borderline statistical significant cumulative incidence of DVT in periodontitis group (log-rank test, Conclusion: The results demonstrated not overall increased risk of DVT among Taiwanese patients with periodontitis. The interplay between periodontitis and the risk of DVT was modulated by age and sex. In summary, periodontitis patients' age ≥65 years old and men were found to have a significant higher risk of DVT, respectively.
