Relationship Between GLP-1-Based Therapies and Periodontal Health: A Systematic Review of Current Evidence and Future Perspectives.
Synthesis 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
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), widely used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, have recently attracted attention for their potential effects on periodontal tissues. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current evidence regarding the relationship between GLP-1-based therapies and periodontal health, with particular emphasis on anti-inflammatory, osteogenic, and regenerative mechanisms. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases identified 22 eligible studies, including in vitro, animal, and human investigations. The available evidence suggests that GLP-1RAs such as liraglutide and exendin-4 may attenuate periodontal inflammation, reduce alveolar bone loss, and enhance osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament and dental pulp stem cells through modulation of pathways including MAPK/ERK, Wnt/β-catenin, NF-κB, and PKCβ2. Clinical observations additionally indicate a bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and incretin signalling, with periodontal therapy associated with increased systemic GLP-1 levels. However, the current evidence remains heterogeneous and is largely limited to preclinical and observational studies. Randomised clinical trials are required to determine the clinical efficacy and therapeutic relevance of GLP-1-based therapies in periodontitis management.
