The salivary virome during childhood dental caries.
Article in mSphere, 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
While many studies have examined the bacterial taxa associated with dental caries, the most common chronic infectious disease, little is known about the caries-associated virome. In this study, the salivary viromes of 21 children with severe caries (>2 dentin lesions) and 23 children with healthy dentition were examined. A total of 2,485 viral metagenome-assembled genomes (vMAGs) were identified, binned, and quantified from the metagenomic assemblies. These vMAGs were mostly phages and represented 1,865 unique species-level viral operational taxonomic units (vOTUs), of which 478 appear to be novel. The metagenomes were also queried for all 3,858 unique species-level vOTUs of DNA viruses with a human host on NCBI Virus; however, all but
