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/objectives: Periodontal diseases, which are highly inflammatory in nature, are very common throughout the world. In recent years, natural products have gained special attention as a complement to conventional therapy, and olive oil/ozonated olive oil (OLO/OzOLO), due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, has been proposed for these treatments. The aim of our study was to demonstrate its short-term clinical efficacy in periodontal treatment. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with Cochrane guidelines, and searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) to identify eligible studies. Review Manager 5.4.1 and SPSS Statistics 30.0® were used to calculate standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The main outcomes assessed for periodontitis were probing depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BoP), and clinical attachment level (CAL), and for gingivitis, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and bleeding index (BI). Results: Twelve randomized clinical trials (RCTs) involving 456 subjects were included. In periodontitis, compared with controls, OLO/OzOLO improved BoP reduction in the medium term (8-12 weeks) [-0.66; 95% CI (-1.07 to -0.26); Conclusions: Despite limitations, OLO/OzOLO treatments result in short-term CAL gain and improved gingival parameters.
