Altered microRNA expression correlates with reduced TLR2/4-dependent periodontal inflammation and bone resorption induced by polymicrobial infection.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Periodontitis (PD) is a polymicrobial dysbiotic immuno-inflammatory disease. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are present on gingival epithelial cells and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns on pathogenic bacteria, inducing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and initiating innate and adaptive antigen-specific immune responses to eradicate the invading microbes. Since PD is a chronic inflammatory disease, TLR2/TLR4 play a vital role in disease pathogenesis and in maintaining the periodontium during health. Many factors modulate the TLR-mediated signaling pathway, including specific microRNAs (miRNAs). The present study was designed to characterize the function of TLR2/4 signaling in the miRNA profile after polybacterial infection with IMPORTANCE: Periodontitis is the most prevalent chronic immuno-infectious multispecies dysbiotic disease of the oral cavity. The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) provide the first line of defense, one of the best-characterized pathogen detection systems, and play a vital role in recognizing multiple microbial products.
