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.

Abstract

The role of periodontal pathogens in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis has been extensively researched, yet a precise causal mechanism has not been established. The subgingival microbiota may be a source of dissemination and may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis; hence this study attempted to characterize and compare the subgingival and atherosclerotic plaques. Plaque samples were subjected to 16S rRNA-based metagenomics to study microbiota associated with subgingival and atherosclerotic plaques collected from patients with coronary artery disease. The PCoA analysis showed that the microbiomes of subgingival plaques were highly scattered and showed a diverse microbial composition, unlike the atherosclerotic plaques that did not show evident variability in the microbial composition and formed a close distinct group. The abundance of various genera in the subgingival plaques revealed Graphical Abstract:
