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

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the composition and alterations of gut microbiota in mice with comorbid diabetes and periodontitis. Materials and methods: A total of 40 six-week-old male db/db and db/m mice were divided into four groups ( Results: Compared with the db/m group, the db/m + PD group showed no significant differences in fasting blood glucose and the area under the oral glucose tolerance test curve (AUC). In contrast, compared with the db/db group, the db/db + PD group exhibited significantly elevated fasting blood glucose and the area under the oral glucose tolerance test curve. Relative to the db/m group, the db/m + PD group demonstrated a significant increase in C-reactive protein (CRP). Compared with the db/db group, the db/db + PD group showed high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) significantly reduced and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) significantly increased. Pancreatic histology revealed marked islet morphological alterations in both db/db and db/db + PD groups. Significant alveolar bone loss was observed in db/m + PD and db/db + PD groups, with pronounced inflammatory infiltration on periodontal histology, most severe in db/db + PD group. Alpha and beta diversity analyses indicated notable changes in microbial richness and community structure across the four groups. The gut microbiota dysbiosis index was significantly higher in the three experimental groups than in the db/m group. Intergroup comparisons revealed extensive compositional differences at both phylum and genus levels. Conclusion: Our results showed that the degree of alveolar bone resorption and the microbial dysbiosis index (MDI) in the db/db + PD group were significantly higher than those in the db/m, db/m + PD, and db/db groups. Meanwhile, the destruction of pancreatic
