Network rankings combine direct and indirect comparisons across 37 trials and 1,989 participants; variation in adjuncts, follow-up and trial quality limits certainty. Changes in HbA1c or periodontal indices do not establish diabetes cure, justify stopping medication, or establish comparative safety for an individual. Antibiotic findings require stewardship and clinical assessment.
