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: Periodontitis is linked to dyslipidaemia, but the mechanism still requires further investigation. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the periodontitis-dyslipidaemia interplay, comparing the impact of periodontitis-associated versus healthy salivary microbiota on systemic lipid metabolism in mice via the oral-gut axis. Design: NHANES analysis established epidemiological link. ApoE-/- mice received salivary microbiota from periodontally healthy (A-PH) or severe periodontitis (A-SP) donors. Serum lipids and gut microbiota were assessed; correlations between microbial shifts and lipid changes were evaluated. Results: NHANES confirmed significant association between self-reported physician-diagnosed bone loss around teeth and hypercholesterolemia (OR=1.266). A-SP mice exhibited higher TC, LDL and non-HDL compared with A-PH group. Gut dysbiosis featured increased proinflammatory genera ( Conclusions: Collectively, building upon the NHANES link, our findings demonstrate that the salivary microbiome from periodontitis patients, compared to that from healthy individuals, disrupts systemic lipid metabolism and induces gut dysbiosis in mice. The correlation between specific gut microbial shifts and atherogenic lipid profiles provides experimental support for the mediating role of the oral‒gut axis in linking periodontitis to hyperlipidaemia.
