Antimicrobial Resistance in Oral Healthcare: A Growing Concern in Dentistry.
Review in Dentistry journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
One of the most significant public health issues of the twenty-first century is antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is responsible for thousands of deaths each year and undermines the efficacy of commonly used antibiotics. In dentistry, the frequent and sometimes inappropriate use of antibiotics, combined with the complexity of the oral microbiome, creates a high-risk environment for the development and spread of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms. Although clinical infections have received most of the attention, dental unit waterlines, dentures, and orthodontic appliances are three reservoirs that play an important but underestimated role in this global crisis. These environments provide perfect conditions for biofilm formation and, further, the survival and growth of resistant microorganisms. This review aims to discuss the origins and mechanisms of AMR, the unrecognized role of these three reservoirs in dental settings, and their contribution to the AMR issue. It also highlights the necessity of strict infection control procedures and targeted antimicrobial stewardship strategies to overcome this growing threat.
