Research progress and antibacterial mechanisms of plant essential oils as alternative therapies for periodontitis.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 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 is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by subgingival plaque microorganisms, and its treatment is often limited by the antibiotic resistance of conventional drugs. Plant essential oils, owing to their wide availability, relatively high safety, and multi-target antibacterial properties, have emerged as potential alternative or adjunctive therapies for periodontitis. This review systematically summarizes recent research on the antibacterial activity and mechanisms of plant essential oils against the microbial complexes of subgingival plaque (red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and blue complexes). Findings indicate that various essential oils exhibit significant inhibitory effects against key pathogens (e.g.,
