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

The pathogenesis of periodontitis is closely intertwined with a complex immune and inflammatory cascade initiated by a dysbiotic dental biofilm. As key regulators of both innate and adaptive immunity, macrophages play a central role in the development and progression of periodontitis. Recent advances in immunometabolism have underscored the significance of metabolic reprogramming in shaping macrophage immune responses and influencing inflammation progression. In this review, we discuss the metabolic reprogramming of macrophages in glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism during periodontitis, as well as its intercellular consequences within the periodontal microenvironment. Moreover, we discuss how periodontal inflammatory microenvironmental factors drive this metabolic reprogramming, establishing a bidirectional, self-perpetuating vicious cycle. Finally, we highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting macrophage metabolism and emphasize the dual role of metabolic reprogramming as both a driver of periodontitis progression and a potentially reversible process that can be therapeutically redirected.
