Periodontitis and peripheral artery disease: a mini-review.
Review in Frontiers in oral health, 2026. 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
Periodontitis is a inflammatory disease characterized by progressive loss of periodontal attachment and alveolar bone, leading to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss. Periodontal disease affects about half of U.S. adults. Epidemiologic evidence links periodontitis to increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is common in adults aged ≥65 years and is associated with substantially increased cardiovascular risk. It is an atherosclerotic condition that shares major risk factors, diabetes, smoking, older age, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. Although the link between periodontitis and CVD is well established, comparatively few studies have examined PAD specifically. This mini-review synthesizes recent studies on periodontitis and PAD. Across heterogeneous designs and populations, most reports support a modest association, which appears stronger in the presence of shared risk factors (e.g., diabetes, smoking) and with more severe periodontal involvement. Several studies have detected oral pathogens or pathogen-specific antibodies (e.g.,
