The Potential of Ozone Therapy as an Adjunct to Periodontal Treatment in Diabetes Mellitus: A Biomarkers Scoping Review.
Article in Current diabetes reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPeriodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory disease and a critical complication in individuals with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and DM exacerbates systemic inflammation and complicates disease management. Ozone therapy (OT), with its antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties, has emerged as a promising adjunctive treatment for periodontitis in individuals with DM, though it remains underexplored. This scoping review evaluates the effects of OT on biomarkers associated with DM, which may indirectly suggest its potential as a complementary therapy for periodontitis management in DM.
methodsA comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, LIVIVO, Scopus, Web of Science, and LILACS (up to March 2024) identified 38 studies: 19 involving individuals with DM and 19 using DM animal models. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: OT positively influenced biomarkers such as Malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), reduced Glutathione (GSH), Catalase (CAT), Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), and Total Oxidant Status (TOS). OT also modulated inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and CRP) and regenerative biomarkers (bFGF, BMP-2, CD34, VEGF, PDGF) while improving glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). This study represents the first review to explore the effects of OT on DM biomarkers and infer possible implications of these effects if used as an adjunct in the treatment of periodontitis associated with DM.
conclusionOT may complement conventional periodontal treatments in individuals with DM by modulating biomarkers linked to periodontal health. These insights may guide future clinical studies to validate OT's role in the treatment and establish standardized protocols for its application in periodontal management in DM.
