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

Aim: Periodontitis is a site-specific, chronic disease treated by non-surgical debridement of subgingival plaque. We aimed to determine the microbiome of sites that did not respond to this treatment (NR) compared with paired good responding (GR) sites before and after treatment. Materials and methods: In a longitudinal cohort study, clinical parameters of disease and biological samples were taken prior to and 3 months after treatment. Twelve NR sites from six participants were paired with GR sites within the same participant. Subgingival plaque samples were subjected to bacterial community analysis using Results: There were no significant differences in clinical parameters and microbial communities at baseline between GR and NR sites. Bacterial communities in deep pockets were dominated by a small number of species, notably Conclusion: NR sites were not identifiable prior to treatment by clinical or microbiological parameters. Treatment failed to disrupt pathogenic bacterial community in NR sites. Targeted suppression of particular species should be considered to initiate community collapse and aid disease resolution.
