Real-world evidence for herbal medicine benefit in 9728 type 2 diabetes patients-peridonotitis risk and ambulatory care utilization.
Article in World journal of diabetes, 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
backgroundRecent evidence manifests that individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are increasingly affected by oral disorders. Although medicinal herbs have shown promise in managing T2D, their benefit in managing periodontitis risk and subsequent healthcare utilization remains uncertain.
aimTo compare risk of periodontitis and associated ambulatory care utilization among individuals with T2D who did or did not receive add-on medicinal herbs.
methodsWe included individuals aged 20-70 years with newly diagnosis of T2D and being free of periodontitis in 2000 and 2010. Periodontitis events were tracked from cohort entry until December 31, 2013. The association between medicinal herb use and periodontitis risk was assessed by multivariate Cox regression, while differences in periodontitis-related ambulatory care were analyzed using Mann-Whitney
resultsAfter propensity score matching, 9728 individuals were included in both the herbal and non-herbal groups. Those who used herbs for more than two years experienced a potently lower risk of periodontitis by 52%. Compared to herb users, the non-users substantially incurred higher frequency and cost of periodontitis-related ambulatory visits post-diagnosis, and the costs per ambulatory visit increased with time after periodontitis onset.
conclusionThe rollout of this study not only tackled the former research gap but also provided an insight that the combination of medicinal herbs may take into account while planning holistic and individualized oral health care for T2D persons.
