Severity-dependent alterations in oral microbiota and antibiotic resistance in children with dental fluorosis.
Article in Journal of oral microbiology, 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
Backgroud: Dental fluorosis is a prevalent endemic condition, yet its impact on the oral microbiota structure and resistance in children remains understudied. Objective: To assess the microbial composition, diversity, functional pathways and co-occurrence patterns among urinary fluoride (UF), bacterial taxa and antibiotic resistance genes in relation to fluorosis severity. Design: Metagenomic analysis of dental plaque was conducted on 96 school-aged children, who were grouped into normal, dubious, very mild, mild, moderate and severe base on fluorosis severity. Results: Microbial diversity increased with fluorosis severity. Conclusions: These findings highlight severity-dependent shifts in the oral microbiota and resistance, warranting further investigation into fluoride's public health implications.
