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

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily caused by bacteria, leading to inflamed and bleeding gums, periodontal pocket formation, and bone loss. Affecting 70%-90% of adults over 65, periodontitis is a leading cause of tooth loss and significantly impacts quality of life. Standard treatments, including subgingival scraping and antibiotics, have limitations, and antibiotic resistance among periodontal pathogens is an increasing concern. Biofilms are barriers to drugs and immune responses, contributing to bacterial resistance and reducing antibiotic effectiveness. Due to their adjustable physicochemical properties, bioactive materials potentially eliminate bacterial biofilms, presenting a promising alternative for periodontitis therapy. In this review, the recent innovations in biomaterials for removing mature biofilms in periodontitis are examined, and their broader potential is discussed. Additionally, the compositions of bacterial biofilms, formation pathways, and intrinsic drug resistance mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the strategies for optimizing subgingival biofilm removal in periodontitis are highlighted, such as targeting biofilms-embedded bacteria, disrupting the extracellular polymeric substances, and utilizing combined approaches. A comprehensive understanding of the properties of biomaterials guides the rational design of highly targeted and effective therapies for periodontitis.
