Periodontitis Accelerates Progression of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in Mice.
Article in JACC. Basic to translational science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic low-grade inflammation and nitric oxide (NO) depletion are important contributors to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) pathophysiology. Periodontitis (PD) is a common inflammatory disease implicated in dysregulation of NO hemostasis. Epidemiological studies have shown an association between PD and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. However, a causative relationship between the 2 diseases has not yet been proven. In this study, we sought to investigate the direct effect of PD induction on HFpEF progression in a mouse model. Induction of PD in HFpEF mice resulted in significant oral microbial dysbiosis, accelerated progression of diastolic dysfunction by echocardiography, and increased myocardial inflammation and fibrosis. These deleterious effects seen with PD were shown to be mediated by increased systemic blood pressure, increased systemic inflammation, and NO depletion. Our study provides evidence of potential mechanistic links between PD and HFpEF progression and suggests PD as a new therapeutic target for HFpEF.
