DNA virus tropism in healthy dental pulp: an in-situ reservoir site for torque teno virus and parvovirus B19.
Article in Journal of oral microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The presence of viruses in healthy teeth has not been extensively studied, although some viral traces have been detected in both healthy and diseased dental pulps in previous studies focusing primarily on a single species. The aim of this study is to clarify the persistence of DNA viruses in dental tissues and their impact on tissue composition. Materials and Methods: Here, the prevalence of persistent DNA viruses in intact third molars ( Results: Viral DNA of five different viruses was detected in 5 of the 17 samples (29.4%) including B19V ( Conclusions: These findings emphasized that even in the absence of a disease evaluated by histology, dental pulp can harbor DNA viruses and be an anatomical site of virus tropism, suggesting viral persistence rather than direct pathogenic activity.
