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

Background: Periodontitis (PD) is a highly prevalent inflammatory disease associated with complex microbial infection in the subgingival cavity. We have previously shown that polybacterial periodontal infection led to aortic atherosclerosis and lipid profile modulation; however, the underlying mechanism(s) has not been yet demonstrated. Methods: Primary human aortic endothelial cells (pHAECs) were infected periodically for 48 hours either with Results: pHAEC cell viability was significantly (p<0.05) reduced in both mono and poly-bacterial infection when compared with non-infected cells in a time dependent manner. Nitrite levels in the media were significantly impaired in both infection groups. mRNA expression for cytokines (TLR-4, IL-6, and TNF-α,) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were significantly (p<0.05) elevated in both experimental groups. In contrast, endothelial (e) NOS, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH Conclusions: Our study highlights the adverse effects of
