The Bacterial, Viral, and Microbiome Contributions in Cardiovascular Diseases: A Narrative Review.
Review in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine, 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
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While traditional risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle behaviors are well-documented, emerging evidence highlights the role of microbial agents in contributing to cardiovascular risk. This narrative review explores the epidemiological evidence linking various microbes, including bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, to cardiovascular diseases. The review focuses on mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, molecular mimicry, endothelial dysfunction, and direct microbial invasion of cardiovascular tissues. By synthesizing data from recent studies, this paper aims to focus the significance of microbes in the context of cardiovascular health, identify gaps in current knowledge, and suggest directions for future research.
