Micronutrients and the Periodontium: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This is a comprehensive narrative assessment of micronutrient relevance for periodontal health. The periodontium is a crucial and intricate structure that supports the tooth within the alveolar bone. Composed of four tissues with distinct embryological origins- the alveolar bone, cementum, gingiva, and periodontal ligament - the periodontium plays a fundamental role in maintaining dento-alveolar function and homeostasis. Periodontitis is gaining attention due to its widespread occurrence worldwide. This inflammatory condition disrupts the balance between the host immune response and microbial virulence factors. Connective tissue production and host defenses require proteins for periodontal health. Vegetable proteins support periodontal health by promoting tissue repair and immune function, while excessive dietary fats can exacerbate inflammation and increase the risk of periodontal disease (PD). Inflammation is further compounded due to dietary animal fats, which contribute to the risk of PD. Omega-3 fatty acids are well-known for their anti-inflammatory effects, which help reduce periodontal inflammation. Adequate intake of essential minerals and vitamins is required for maintaining periodontal health. Vitamins K, D, and A are crucial in maintaining oral epithelial integrity, facilitating bone development, and supporting overall tissue maintenance. Inadequate calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) levels have been associated with severe PD. Antioxidants such as vitamin C help alleviate inflammation in periodontal tissues. As recognized by dental professionals, nutritional status plays a considerable role in an individual's risk of developing PD.
