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

In patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), emerging evidence suggests that the oral microbiota may serve as a predictive biomarker. We conducted a systematic review to provide a critical overview of oral microbiota research in the allo-HSCT setting. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to December 2025 to identify studies assessing the oral microbiota in allo-HSCT settings. We included all articles reporting detailed data on the oral microbiota in this context and conducted a qualitative synthesis. Risk of bias was assessed using the JBI critical appraisal tools. From 8160 initially identified records, 35 studies evaluating the oral microbiota in 1964 allo-HSCT patients were included. Of these, 27 studies (77%) assessed temporal oral microbiota dynamics and reported dysbiosis in the early post-transplantation period, followed by gradual recovery. Additionally, 27 studies (77%) evaluated the prognostic value of the oral microbiota, identifying associations with key clinical outcomes such as oral mucositis, overall survival, and graft-versus-host disease. Finally, substantial methodological heterogeneity was observed across studies, including differences in sampling techniques, sampling timepoints, and analytical strategies. This systematic review highlights the prognostic and therapeutic potential of the oral microbiota in allo-HSCT and underscores the need for standardized methodologies.
