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

The human body houses many distinct and interconnecting microbial populations with long-lasting systemic effects, where the oral cavity serves as a pathogens' reservoir. The correlation of different disease states strongly supports the need to understand the interplay between the oral tissue niche and microbiome. Despite efforts, the recapitulation of gingival architecture and physiological characteristics of the periodontal niche has yet to be accomplished by traditional cultural strategies. Here, we are showing for the first time the investigation of host-microbiome interactions in healthy conditions within a human oral tissue model over seven days. Our results indicated long-term host and microbiome viability, host barrier integrity, phenotypic functional response, and preservation of healthy microbial populations and interbacterial dialogs. This in vitro platform can maintain tissue homeostasis at the interface of the periodontal niche, thus, offering opportunities to identify predictive disease biomarkers and to develop intervention strategies to promote oral and overall health.
