The Interplay Between Periodontitis and Atrial Fibrillation: Inflammation as a Common Pathophysiological Bridge.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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 (PD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are two prevalent chronic conditions with substantial public health burdens worldwide. While traditionally studied separately, increasing evidence reveals a complex interplay between PD and AF, mediated primarily by shared inflammatory and immune mechanisms. Chronic periodontal inflammation can trigger systemic immune activation, leading to atrial structural remodeling, fibrosis, and electrical disturbances that predispose individuals to AF. Observational and longitudinal studies consistently demonstrate a higher incidence and recurrence of AF in patients with moderate to severe PD, independent of established cardiovascular risk factors. Key periodontal pathogens, especially
