Microbiome differences between trauma- and caries-derived periapical lesions using next-generation sequencing.
Article in Journal of oral microbiology, 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: While the microbiome of caries-derived periapical lesions has been extensively characterized, the microbial profile of trauma-derived periapical lesions remains poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the apical microbiome of trauma-derived periapical lesions and identify taxonomic differences between trauma- and caries-derived periapical lesions. Methods: Twenty patients with periapical lesions were enrolled, comprising 10 trauma-derived cases (trauma group) and 10 caries-derived cases (caries group). Microbial samples were collected using sterile paper points inserted into the root canal exudate, followed by DNA extraction and Illumina sequencing of the hypervariable V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Bioinformatic analyses included Results: Sequencing revealed 36 bacterial phyla and 587 genera across all samples. Trauma group showed significantly greater relative abundance of Conclusions: Trauma-derived periapical lesions exhibited reduced microbial diversity compared to caries-derived periapical lesions, with
