The Effect of Carica Papaya on Periodontal Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Advanced biomedical research, 2025. 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
Background: The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of Carica papaya on periodontal disease in the adult population. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was performed using the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane library databases up to June 2021 using related keywords for randomized clinical trials that evaluated the effect of Carica papaya on gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), and papilla bleeding index (PBI) in the intervention group compared to control group. Results: A total of five eligible studies involving 206 participants were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. GI score significantly decreased in the intervention group at the end of the treatment compared to the baseline (ES = -0.64; 95% CI = -0.85--0.42; I Conclusion: Despite study limitations, this systematic review and meta-analysis highlighted the effective role of oral care products containing Carica papaya for the treatment of periodontal diseases by improving indices like GI and PI.
