Targeting pyroptosis in periodontitis: mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. 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
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the oral cavity. It is characterized by progressive destruction of the periodontal supporting tissues and alveolar bone loss, and it remains a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. In recent years, pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death, has attracted increasing attention for its role in the initiation and progression of periodontitis. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways of pyroptosis. We highlight pyroptosis-targeted therapeutic strategies for periodontitis, including molecular targeted interventions, gene regulation, ion channel blockers, and natural compounds, among others. We also discuss major challenges and translational prospects in light of recent advances. This review aims to provide direction and guidance for developing novel periodontal therapeutic and regenerative strategies by targeting pyroptosis.
