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

aimTo investigate the intra-tissue bacteriome and cell profiles within periodontal granulation tissue (PGT) for exploring the biological essence and translational potentials. MATERIALS AND

methodsPGT samples were collected from 49 patients with severe periodontitis-including those from osseous defects (GT) during periodontal surgery, extraction sockets (ST) and extracted root surfaces (RT) during tooth extraction-while the excised pocket wall (PT) from surgical sites served as the control for diseased tissues. These samples underwent 16S rRNA sequencing, single-cell sequencing and histological assessment.

resultsGT and PT exhibited periodontal health-associated, commensal-enriched bacteriome profiles, while RT and ST showed worse local periodontal condition, enriched periodontopathogens but depleted commensals. Notably, GT contained a higher proportion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and fibroblasts while fewer natural killer cells than in PT and ST. Pseudotime trajectory analysis revealed endothelial and epithelial differentiation fates from mesenchymal progenitors across tissues. Moreover, there were less inflammatory infiltration and immunoreactivity of CD4

conclusionsOur findings suggest potential periodontal health-associated features of GT regarding clinical, bacteriome and cellular attributes. Future translational study is warranted to explore GT as an alternative source of MSCs for periodontal regeneration.
