Viable but non-cultivable state in oral microbiota: a critical review of an underexplored microbial survival strategy.
Review in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The viable but non-cultivable (VBNC) state and persister cells, two dormancy phenomena in bacteria, differ in various aspects. The entry of bacteria into the VBNC state as a survival strategy under stressful conditions has gained increasing attention in recent years, largely due to the higher tolerance of VBNC cells to antibiotics and antimicrobials resulting from their low metabolic activity. The oral cavity favors biofilm growth in dental hard tissues, resulting in tooth decay and periodontitis. Despite advances in VBNC state detection in the food industry and environment, the entry capability of oral bacteria into the VBNC state remains poorly documented. Furthermore, the VBNC state has recently been observed in oral pathogens, including
