Nanocomposite LL37-gold nanoparticles with puerarin for periodontitis-linked atherosclerosis.
Article in Journal of nanobiotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 has been increasingly recognized as a contributor to systemic diseases such as atherosclerosis due to its persistent inflammatory nature. The present study evaluates an innovative nanocomposite, LL37-AuNPs@PUE, composed of gold nanoparticles functionalized with the antimicrobial peptide LL37 and puerarin, designed to target vascular inflammation and lipid dysregulation induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). The findings show that the nanocomposite effectively reduces bacterial adhesion, attenuates inflammatory responses, and restores lipid metabolic balance in endothelial cells in both in vitro and in vivo models. Overall, LL37-AuNPs@PUE, as a proof-of-concept dual-functional nanotherapeutic platform, provides a new conceptual framework and experimental basis for the treatment of periodontitis and the prevention and therapy of related atherosclerosis. It also lays the groundwork for an integrated oral-systemic therapeutic strategy.
