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

Background: Periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions of the oral and gastrointestinal tracts that exhibit bidirectional microbial and immunological crosstalk. Objective: Aimed at elucidating the bidirectional crosstalk between periodontitis and IBD at both microbiological and immunological levels and evaluate related therapeutic interventions, this review comprehensively summarizes recent evidence on their interaction via the oral-gut-bone axis, focusing on microbial ecology, host responses, and innovative therapies. Design: Distinct yet overlapping dysbiotic signatures are observed in both diseases, with periodontal pathogens such as Results: Therapeutic strategies targeting this axis encompass bidirectional interventions: periodontal and IBD treatments that mutually influence oral and gut health, natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds, probiotics and prebiotics, oral and fecal microbiota transplantation, and emerging bacteriophage therapy. Critically, the clinical translation of collaborative dentistry-gastroenterology management is highlighted as a promising avenue for integrated care. Conclusions: By integrating findings across microbial ecology, host response, and therapeutic innovation, this review provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and targeting the periodontitis-IBD axis.
