1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Oral infectious diseases, including dental caries, various forms of periodontitis and oral malodor, are not caused by a single pathogen. The etiology of these diseases is known to be associated with bacterial accumulation and plaque composition on the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. Therefore, the quantitative, as well as qualitative, analysis of the microorganisms present in oral biofilms, namely dental plaque, subgingival plaque and tongue debris, is important for diagnosis and rational treatment decisions. The quantitative microbial analysis of oral multi-species biofilms also provides useful information for establishing the etiology of oral infectious diseases. Recently, a 5' fluorogenic, nuclease-based, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been increasingly employed for the quantitative microbial assessment of the human oral cavity. We review the development and use of TaqMan real-time PCR for quantifying oral bacteria, its role in the diagnosis of oral infectious diseases and their microbial etiology.
