Dietary fatty acids and the time elapsed from their intake are related to their composition in rat submandibular gland and salivary flow rates.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to analyze the influence of dietary fatty acids (FAs) and the time elapsed from their intake on FA tissue profile of rat submandibular gland (SG) and on its salivary flow rate (SFR). Do dietary FAs depending on the intake time modify their profile in SG and consequently the SFR? MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-six adult male Wistar rats were fed on control diet (corn oil, CD, 18:2 n-6 FA) for 7 days and then divided into CD and two groups with replacement of corn oil by olive (OD, 18:1 n-9 FA) or chia (ChD, 18:3 n-3 FA) oils (1 and 30 day intake). Submandibular ducts were canalized to collect saliva for 20 min (μL/min). SG were examined (optical/electron microscopy; ImageJ 1.48 software).
resultsSFR values were 6.18 ± 0.34 (CD1), 6.04 ± 0.31 (OD1), and 6.00 ± 0.50 (ChD1) (p > 0.05). At 30-day intake, higher SFR values in ChD (7.82 ± 0.7) with respect to CD (4.68 ± 0.44; p < 0.001) and OD (6.08 ± 0.2; p = 0.038) were found. ChD30 showed a higher serous acinous area percentage than CD30 and OD30, whereas mucous acinous density was greater in CD30 than in OD30 and ChD30 (p < 0.05). α-Linolenic (ALA) and eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid levels were only detected in SG of ChD30, while arachidonic acid was lower in this group as compared with CD30 and OD30 (p < 0.05).
conclusionsSG FA composition and its SFR appear to be modulated by dietary FAs and the time elapsed from their consumption. SFR is highest with n-3 ALA-rich ChD at 30-day intake. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Diet could contribute to improve secretory dysfunctions.
