Role of Masticatory Force in Modulating Jawbone Immunity and Bone Homeostasis: A Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Mastication exerts a significant influence on both the structural and immunological environment of the jawbone. The mechanical stress generated during chewing initiates bone remodeling through the coordinated activities of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, with these processes being modulated by immune cell responses. This review summarizes the interaction between masticatory forces and jawbone immunity, focusing on key mechanisms such as mechanotransduction in osteocytes, macrophage polarization, and the activation of T cells. The review also delves into the role of the receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand (RANKL), receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B (RANK), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) signaling pathway, highlighting its critical function in bone resorption and immune regulation. Additionally, the review summarizes how masticatory forces modulate the immune response through changes in immune cells, particularly focusing on cytokines, and the involvement of hormonal and molecular pathways. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex interplay between mechanical forces and immune cells, with implications for bone health.
