1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Oral microbiota is the second largest microbial colony in the body and forms a complex ecological community that influences oral and brain health. Impaired homeostasis of the oral microbiota can lead to pathological changes, resulting in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. However, the mechanisms and clinical value of how the oral microbiome influences the brain remain unclear. This review summarizes recent clinical findings on the role of the oral microbiota in CNS diseases and proposes potential approaches to understand the way the oral microbiota and brain communicate. We propose three underlying patterns involving neuroinflammation, neuroendocrine regulation, and CNS signaling between oral microbiota and CNS diseases. We also summarize the clinical characteristics and potential utilization of the oral microbiota in ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, intracranial aneurysms, and mental disorders. Although the current findings are preliminary and clinical evidence is incomplete, oral microbiota is a potential biomarker for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CNS diseases.
