Diversity of mucins in labial glands of infants.
Article in Histology and histopathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mucins as highly glycosylated proteins comprise multiple functions like protection, homeostasis, immune defense, cell signaling. Various epithelial tissues including glandular structures express different specific mucin types. We investigated labial salivary glands in infants for the occurrence of MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC7 by immunohistochemistry. MUC1 and MUC4 were detected in serous and ductal glandular cells, partially intensified at the apical plasma membrane. MUC3 was found in ductal glandular cells and in myoepithelial cells. MUC5B exhibited a mosaic expression pattern in mucous glandular endpieces. MUC2 and MUC7 were abundant in serous acini. Glandular structures were negative for MUC5AC. A comprehensive study of specific mucins in labial salivary glands of infants was presented for the first time. As a representative of the minor salivary glands, labial glands are, due to their localization, directly exposed to environmental influences. The distribution of a broad spectrum of mucins in infantile labial glands indicates their importance early in human development to sustain oral health.
