Gingival Blood Flow Velocity by Video Capillaroscopy as an Indicator of Gingival Inflammation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeWe evaluated the usefulness of gingival capillary blood flow velocity (BFV) as an indicator of inflammation in the gingival sulcus.
methodsTwenty-two non-smoking female dental hygiene students from Aichi Gakuin University Junior College in Nagoya, Japan, with no medication use were assessed for periodontal, gingival blood flow, and nutrient intake. Gingival blood flow was recorded by video capillaroscopy (GOKO-Bscan-ZD). We compared the gingival capillary BFV between sites with and without bleeding on probing (BOP) in the gingival sulcus. For sites with BOP, we further compared BFV based on the presence or absence of visible inflammation.
resultsNutrient levels did not significantly correlate with BOP or gingival BFV. At the sites with BOP, the gingival capillary BFV (107.3 μm/sec) was significantly slower than that at the sites without BOP (189.3 μm/sec;
conclusionGingival capillary BFV is a useful noninvasive indicator that facilitates early quantitative evaluation of localized inflammation within the gingival sulcus.
