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

Introduction: Oral microbiota dysbiosis is linked to cardiovascular disease, and oral pathogens have been detected in atherosclerotic plaques. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the oral microbiota and carotid atherosclerosis, and the occurrence of oral pathogens in plaques. Patients and methods: Oral swab and saliva samples from patients with severe carotid atherosclerosis (≥50% stenosis) were compared with those from controls. The oral microbiome was analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing targeting the V3‒V4 region. Carotid plaques were investigated for five oral bacterial species by qRT-PCR. Results: Compared with controls, patients exhibited different inter-individual (beta) diversity ( Conclusion: Oral microbiota diversity and composition differ between patients with carotid atherosclerosis and controls. A higher relative abundance of the genus
