Oral Microbiota and Type 2 Diabetes: Interactions, Potential Mechanisms, and Preventive Strategies.
Review in Microorganisms, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The oral cavity harbors the second-largest and one of the most diverse microbial communities in the human body, playing a critical role in maintaining local and systemic health. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a chronic metabolic disease accounting for nearly 90% of all diabetes cases, has shown rapidly increasing global prevalence. Growing clinical and experimental evidence indicates a strong bidirectional relationship between oral microbiota dysbiosis and T2DM. Imbalanced oral microbial communities can contribute to systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysregulation, while hyperglycemia and impaired immunity in T2DM promote oral diseases such as periodontitis, xerostomia, and mucosal infections. This review summarizes current research on the interactions between oral microbiota and T2DM, highlighting their clinical correlations, underlying mechanisms, and mutual influences on inflammation, microbial composition, and metabolic pathways. We also discuss emerging strategies for T2DM prevention and management through oral microbiota modulation. These insights may provide new perspectives for early diagnosis, targeted intervention, and integrative management of T2DM.
