The 100 Most-Cited Articles on Periodontal Disease and Atherosclerosis: A Bibliometric Study (1989-2025).
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. 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
Objective: The association between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis has gained significant attention, yet the intellectual structure and most influential works in this interdisciplinary field have not been systematically mapped. This study aimed to identify and analyze the characteristics, collaborative networks, and evolving research trends of the 100 most-cited articles concerning the relationship between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis. Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in the Web of Science Core Collection on January 24, 2025. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the "bibliometrix" R package. Metrics included total citations, h-index, and keyword burst detection. Results: The 100 articles garnered a total of 13,968 citations (average: 195.6 citations per article). The United States was the leading contributor ( Conclusion: This study delineates the foundational literature and thematic evolution of the periodontal-atherosclerosis link. The observed shift in the literature from mechanistic to interventional studies may correlate with an increase in publications on periodontal treatment for cardiovascular prevention. These findings provide a data-driven roadmap for future longitudinal trials and clinical guidelines.
