Unveiling potential driver taxa in subgingival plaque and their roles in mediating periodontitis progression.
Article in Journal of oral microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Periodontitis progression is accompanied by a succession of the oral microbiome. However, the dynamic microbial transitions that link different disease stages and contribute to disease progression remain incompletely understood. Objective: This study aims to identify microbial taxa that may serve as potential drivers underlying increasing severity of periodontitis. Design: Subgingival sample 16S rRNA gene sequencing data were reprocessed for quality control and taxonomic annotation. MaAsLin2 was used to identify microbial differences between groups, and co-occurrence networks were built based on the differential taxa. NetMoss algorithm was applied to identify key microbes driving the transition from health to periodontitis. Correlation and mediation analyses were used to assess the associations between these driver taxa and periodontal clinical indicators. Results: Putative novel pathogens (e.g. Conclusions:
