Comparative evaluation of topical and intramuscular coenzyme Q10 application in non-surgical periodontal disease management: A randomized clinical study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Periodontal disease remains challenging to manage because adjunctive antioxidant therapies are not well standardized forroute of administration or dosing relative to scaling and root planing (SRP). Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate SRP alone, SRP plus topical CoQ10 and SRP plus intrasulcular CoQ10 at 150 sites in 50 patients with chronic periodontitis over 4 weeks. Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Modified Sulcular Bleeding Index and Probing Pocket Depth were assessed at baseline and follow up in all three groups. All groups showed significant improvement, but Group 3 (intrasulcular CoQ10 + SRP) demonstrated the greatest reduction in probing pocket depth, from 6.52 ±1.07 mm to 3.67±0.28 mm (p = 0.000). Thus, intrasulcular CoQ10 + SRP is superior for periodontal regeneration opening new adjunctive antioxidant therapy pathways.
