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

Biofilm-associated peri-implant infections pose a major problem in modern medicine. The understanding of biofilm development is hampered by biofilm complexity and the lack of robust clinical models. This study comprehensively characterized the dynamics of early biofilm formation in the transmucosal passage of implant abutments in 12 patients. Biofilm structures and compositions were complex, diverse, subject-specific and dynamic. A total of 371 different bacterial species were detected. 100 phylogenetically diverse unnamed species and 35 taxonomically diverse disease-associated species comprised an average 4.3% and 3.1% of the community, respectively, but reached up to 12.7% and 21.7% in some samples. Oral taxa formed numerous positive associations and clusters and were characterized by a high potential for metabolic interactions. The subspecies diversity was highly patient-specific and species-dependent, with 1427 ASVs identified in total. The unprecedented depth of early biofilm characterization in this study will support the development of individualized preventive and early diagnostic strategies.
