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

Recent epidemiological studies have shown that inflammatory bowel disease is associated with periodontal disease. The oral-gut microbiota axis is a potential mechanism intersecting the two diseases. Porphyromonas gingivalis is currently considered a keystone oral pathogen involved in periodontal disease pathogenesis and disease progression. Recent studies have shown that oral ingestion of P. gingivalis leads to intestinal inflammation. However, the molecular underpinnings of P. gingivalis-mediated gut inflammation have remained elusive. In this study, we show that the oral administration of P. gingivalis indeed leads to ileal inflammation and alteration in gut microbiota with significant reduction in bacterial alpha diversity despite the absence of P. gingivalis in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Utilizing an antibiotic-conditioned mouse model, cecal microbiota transfer experiments were performed to demonstrate that P. gingivalis-induced dysbiotic gut microbiota is sufficient to reproduce gut pathology. Furthermore, we observed a significant expansion in small intestinal lamina propria IL9
