Metagenomic Characterization and Comparative Analysis of Removable Denture-Wearing and Non-Denture-Wearing Individuals in Healthy and Diseased Periodontal Conditions.
Article in Microorganisms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Removable denture wearers are at an increased risk of developing periodontal diseases due to biofilm deposition and microbial colonization on the denture surface. This study aimed to characterize and compare the metagenomic composition of saliva in denture wearers with different periodontal statuses. Twenty-four community-dwelling elders were recruited and grouped into denture wearers with active periodontitis (APD), non-denture wearers with active periodontitis (APXD), denture wearers with stable periodontal health conditions (SPCD), and non-denture wearers with stable periodontal health conditions (SPCXD). Saliva samples were collected and underwent Type IIB restriction-site-associated DNA for microbiome (2bRAD-M) metagenomic sequencing to characterize the species-resolved microbial composition. Alpha diversity analysis based on the Shannon index revealed no significant difference between groups. Beta diversity analysis using the Jaccard distance matrix was nearly significantly different between denture-wearing and non-denture-wearing groups (
