A Review on the Role of Oral Bacteria in Stroke.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Emerging evidence suggests periodontitis may contribute to stroke risk via vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, promoting atherothrombosis and atrial fibrillation. This review aims to synthesize the evidence on the presence of oral bacteria and their products in biological samples from stroke patients and assess their potential impact on stroke pathophysiology, clinical outcomes, and prognosis. We conducted a narrative review of epidemiological, serological, and molecular studies examining the presence of oral bacterial DNA, endotoxins and antibodies against oral pathogens in biological samples (blood, saliva and thrombi) from stroke patients. Seropositivity for periodontal pathogens in blood was associated with incident stroke, as well as with poorer prognosis. Oral bacterial DNA, mainly from
