The antifungal activity of human parotid secretion is species-specific.

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
Candida albicans is the major fungal colonizer of the oral cavity and causes oral candidiasis in immunocompromised patient populations. While antifungal proteins in saliva have been identified and the virulence factors of C. albicans have been well studied, little is known about the role saliva plays in the preferential colonization of the oral cavity by C. albicans. We report that the fungistatic activity of human parotid secretion toward six C. albicans strains is considerably lower than towards nine non-C. albicans fungal species (average IC₅₀ values >1000 mg/l and <70 mg/l, respectively). The species-specific activity of parotid secretion suggests that saliva may play a determining role in oral fungal colonization patterns.
