The Molecular Interplay Between Oral Microbiome and Oral Cancer Pathogenesis.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The oral microbiome plays a key role in oral cancer pathogenesis through mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, dysregulated proliferation, and increased tumor invasiveness. Dysbiosis, frequently present in premalignant and malignant lesions, may initiate or accelerate malignant transformation. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), representing over 90% of oral cancers and affecting more than 350,000 people worldwide each year, is strongly linked to microbial shifts. Common periodontal pathogens such as
