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

Polyamines modulate cellular proliferation and function. Their dysregulation results in inflammatory and oncological repercussions. This study aims to map the current literature and provide an overview of polyamines in dysbiotic oral conditions among older adults. English publications indexed in MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science from January 2000 to May 2024 were screened. Eligibility criteria included clinical and laboratory studies using samples from adults aged 65 or above. This scoping review identified 2725 publications and included 19 publications. Ten studies detected that older adults with oral carcinoma had increased levels of polyamines such as spermidine in saliva and tumour-affected tissues. Eight studies reported older adults suffering from periodontal infection had increased levels of polyamines such as putrescine in saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, and biofilm from the gingival crevice. Two studies showed polyamine levels could reflect the success of periodontal therapy. Three studies found older adults with halitosis had increased levels of polyamines such as cadaverine in saliva and tongue biofilm. Polyamines were suggested as biomarkers for these oral conditions. In conclusion, certain polyamine levels are elevated in older adults with oral cancer, periodontal infections, and halitosis. Polyamines may be used as a simple and non-invasive tool to detect dysbiotic oral conditions and monitor treatment progress in older adults (Open Science Framework registration).
