Influence of Bariatric Surgery on Salivary Flow: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity, but it can cause numerous adverse effects. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether bariatric surgery changes patient salivary flow. We searched for articles in the Web of Science, Pubmed/MEDLINE, and Scopus databases using the search terms "oral health AND bariatric surgery OR gastrectomy OR obesity surgery." We recovered 845 articles. After the removal of duplicates and exclusions, eight studies remained. Of them, five showed no significant difference in salivary flow values, two showed an increase in flow rate, and one showed a reduction in flow rate (p < 0.05). The results of the included studies showed no significant alteration in salivary flow rate for up to 24 months after bariatric surgery.
