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

introductionPeriodontitis is a chronic disease in humans induced by several pathogens including

methodsTwenty-eight DBA1/BO male mice were placed in four groups: Group A (antibody injection plus gavage), Group B (gavage only), Group C (antibody injection only), and Group D (neither antibody injection nor gavage, control). Between six and eight weeks old, all mice underwent antibiotic administration, and at eight weeks old, were given antibody injection (Groups A and C) and oral

resultsFor histomorphometric analysis, mean distance from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar bone crest (CEJ-ABC) and the mean epithelial downgrowth (ED) in μm was statistically significantly highest for Group A (CEJ-ABC 1.49.81 vs. Group B 101.46, Group C 78.74, and Group D 66.23, p < 0.0083; ED 66.76 vs. Group B 25.92, Group C 9.21, and Group D 9.10, p < 0.0083). Morphometric analysis also showed that Group A had a significantly higher mean CEJ-ABC in μm compared to all other groups (265.50 vs. Group B 195.77, Group C 150.33, and Group D 133.93, p < 0.0083). A similar pattern was seen in cell counting, in which Group A had a significantly lower mean count of fibroblasts per 45 × 50 μm field (8.02 vs. Group B 9.56, Group C 12.09, and Group D 11.02, p < 0.0083), and a significantly higher mean count polymorphonuclear leukocytes per 45 × 50 μm (4.59 vs. Group B 1.74, Group C 0.83, and Group D 0.68, p < 0.0083).

conclusionThe results of this study provide proof-of-concept for a mouse model that can be quickly developed for human periodontitis using a type II collagen antibody cocktail injection coupled with oral gavage of
