The Role of the Oral Microbiome in Periodontal Disease: A Systematic Review of Microbial Associations and Therapeutic Implications.
Synthesis in Current microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by bacterial pathogens. This meta-analysis aimed to quantitatively assess the association between nine bacterial strains and periodontitis across 11 studies. We extracted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from studies evaluating Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Staphylococcus aureus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Tannerella forsythia, and Treponema denticola. Heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran's Q and I
