Establishment of a Quantitative Method for the Extraction of Nicotine and Cotinine in Gingival Tissue and Relationship Between Gingival Intoxication With Conventional Smoking Biomarkers: A Pilot Study.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesSmoking is considered a major risk factor for periodontitis genesis and progression. In clinical studies, specific indicators have been used to characterize the smoking status of the patient as the number of cigarettes consumed (NCC), the pack-years (PY), or Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). However, available literature is missing on the relationship between cotinine gingival intoxication and smoking indicators. First, the development of a quantitative method for the extraction of nicotine and cotinine in gingival tissue. Second, to investigate the relationship between gingival intoxication and conventional smoking biomarkers. MATERIAL AND
methodsFourteen smoker patients were included in the study. After clinical data collection, salivary and gingival samples collection, toxicological analyses were performed using liquid extraction after enzymatic digestion (subtilisin) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).
resultsGingival cotinine quantification was successfully performed in 14 samples (100%) with a mean of 0.280 ng/mg (range = 0.094-0.505). Only FTND was statistically associated with gingival cotinine levels (p = 0.0072; r² = 0.60). Gingival nicotine quantification was achieved in 12 of the 14 gingival samples (86%) with a mean of 0.384 ± 1.00 ng/mg (range = 0.03-3.84). Gingival nicotine was statistically associated with NCC (p = 0.032; r² = 0.55), PY (p = 0.0011; r² = 0.76), and FTND (p = 0.016; r² = 0.60). Salivary nicotine and cotinine levels were statistically associated with, respectively, NCC (p = 0.030; r² = 0.34), and NCC (p = 0.0094; r² = 0.63) + PY (p = 0.0078; r² = 0.64).
conclusionsThis pilot study established a quantitative extraction method for nicotine and cotinine from human gingival samples. Additionally, FTND was associated with gingival cotinine. However, further large-scale studies are needed to confirm the relationship between nicotine dependence and gingival intoxication.
