Subgingival Yeasts Species Amongst Smokers and Nonsmokers With Peri-implantitis.
Article in International dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThere is a dearth of studies that have assessed yeast species in the subgingival biofilm (SB) samples collected from smokers and nonsmokers with peri-implantitis. This study assesses peri-implant clinical and radiographic profiles and yeasts species in the subgingival SB of cigarette smokers and nonsmokers with peri-implantitis.
methodsParticipants were divided into 3 groups: group 1, cigarette smokers with peri-implantitis; group 2, nonsmokers with peri-implantitis; and group 3, nonsmokers without peri-implantitis. Information on smoking pack-years and patient demographics was collected. Implant-related parameters were retrieved from health care records. Peri-implant modified plaque and gingival indices (mPI and mGI, respectively), probing depth (PD), and crestal bone loss (CBL) were recorded. The SB samples were collected, subgingival yeasts colonisation was recorded, and yeasts species were identified. P < .05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsRespectively, 22, 22, and 24 individuals were included in groups 1, 2, and 3. In group 1, cigarette smokers had a smoking history of 29.7 ± 7.9 pack-years. The PD, mPI, and mesial and distal CBL were higher in groups 1 (P < .01) and 2 (P < .01) than in group 3. The mGI was higher in group 2 (P < .01) than in groups 1 and 3. The total number of implants in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 22, 22, and 24, respectively. In group 3, implants were in function for a longer duration (12.2 ± 2.3 years; P < .05) than in groups 1 (5.6 ± 1.9 years) and 2 (5.1 ± 0.7 years). Yeasts levels in CFU/mL were higher in group 1 than in groups 2 (P < .05) and 3 (P < .05); they were also higher in group 2 than in group 3 (P < .05). Candida albicans was the most isolated yeasts species, followed by Candida tropicalis, in all groups.
conclusionsCigarette smokers and nonsmokers present similar peri-implant clinicoradiographic profiles, and oral yeasts (predominantly C albicans) seem to play a role in the progression of peri-implant disease in these individuals.
