Boxplots showing (a) adjusted MBL, (b) RANKL, (c) OPG, and (d) RANKL : OPG ratio in periodontitis patients () with no diabetes (), prediabetes (), and diabetes (). Center lines represent the medians; box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles. The whiskers extend 1.5 times the interquartile range from the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the dots represent the outliers. values ≤ 0.05 were considered significant. MBL = marginal bone loss. NPX = normalized protein expression.
