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

Oral infectious diseases, including caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, and oral candidiasis, are caused by plaque biofilm or dysbiosis. These conditions affect over two billion people worldwide, imposing a significant burden on healthcare systems and economies. Developing suitable animal models is crucial for investigating the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and evaluating potential therapeutic strategies. Currently, most animal models of oral infectious diseases are built via inoculating a single pathogenic bacterium. However, these models often fail to fully replicate the complex disease processes observed in humans. As a result, alternative methods are needed to explore more accurate animal models that better represent the progression of oral infectious diseases. Herein, this mini-review provides a concise overview of strategies for constructing animal models of oral infectious diseases, focusing on four representative conditions: caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, and oral candidiasis. The goal is to offer valuable insights and references for researchers working in the field of animal model development for oral health.
