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.

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.

Abstract

Oral dryness is a very common condition presenting to a general dental practitioner or hospital specialist. The most common cause of oral dryness is drug related, however, patients with Sjögren's syndrome, a multisystem autoimmune condition, may present to their dentist rather than their GP complaining of dry mouth and dry eyes. This update article explores the causes of oral dryness and how to manage it. The update on Sjögren's syndrome explains the latest relevant diagnostic criteria, presenting signs, symptoms, investigations and management principles.
