Impact of Periodontal Disease on the Oral Microbiome of Cats.
Article in Current microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial condition commonly observed in domestic cats, characterized by inflammation and alveolar bone loss. This study aimed to elucidate the differences in the oral microbiome between healthy cats and those with periodontitis, focusing on microbial community structure and preliminary functionality. An observational case-control study was conducted involving 30 cats, divided equally into healthy and periodontitis groups. Gingival swabs were collected and analyzed using V3_V4 regions of the 16S rRNA sequencing. The results revealed that while the dominant phyla in both groups were Bacteroidota and Bacillota, cats with periodontitis exhibited decreased levels of Ochrobactrum, Odoribacter denticanis, Treponema denticola, Porphyromonas macacae, and Fretibacterium fastidiosum which are the characteristics of the periodontal oral microbiome. Predicted function indicated the enrichment of pathways related to the biosynthesis of fatty acids in periodontal disease, such as ubiquinol and mycolate production. These findings highlight significant microbial and functional shifts associated with feline periodontal disease, providing a basis for potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
