Evaluation of the Liver and Pancreatic Functions in Patients with Alcohol-Related Sialadenosis - A Case Control Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Sialadenosis or sialosis is the asymptomatic symmetric parotid enlargement without inflammation or neoplasia, seen in persons 30-69 years old, often related to chronic alcohol use, endocrine disorders, and obesity. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control study done at Rajah Muthiah Dental College and Hospital from September 2013 to July 2014, comprising 15 patients with alcoholic sialadenosis (Group A) and comparing them with 15 alcoholic patients without sialadenosis (Group B). Parameters monitored for liver and pancreatic functions were their serum levels of AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, amylase, and lipase. Results: Group A had higher mean levels of GGT, AST, and ALT; a slightly increased AST/ALT ratio; and high serum amylase and lipase compared to Group B. Both groups consumed ethanol in excess. Conclusion: Biochemical differences suggest chronic alcohol effects on sialadenosis. Stable hepatic and pancreatic functions indicate that further research into sialadenosis may provide a potential diagnostic marker for liver and pancreatic disorders.
