Effects of Initial Periodontal Therapy on Intraoral Bacterial Flora in Patients With Oral Contraceptive-Related Severe Gingivitis.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 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
Gingivitis is a common inflammatory condition of the gingival tissues, influenced by microbial plaque and various systemic factors, including hormonal changes. Oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progestin are known to exacerbate gingival inflammation. We report the case of a 20-year-old Japanese woman who presented with gingival swelling and bleeding despite self-care, with a history of orthodontic treatment and oral contraceptive use. Clinical examination revealed probing pocket depths of ≥ 4 mm and bleeding on probing in more than half of the sites, a periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) of 995.8 mm
