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.

2 · The registry

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

Saliva is secreted from the acinar cells of the salivary glands, using mechanisms that are similar to other types of water-transporting epithelial cells. Using a combination of theoretical and experimental techniques, over the past 20 years we have continually developed and modified a quantitative model of saliva secretion, and how it is controlled by the dynamics of intracellular calcium. However, over approximately the past 5 years there have been significant developments both in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and in the way these mechanisms should best be modelled. Here, we review the traditional understanding of how saliva is secreted, and describe how our work has suggested important modifications to this traditional view. We end with a brief description of the most recent data from living animals and discuss how this is now contributing to yet another iteration of model construction and experimental investigation.
