Applied anatomy and morphology of minor salivary glands in commonly used experimental animals.

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
This study aimed to describe the anatomy and histology of minor salivary glands (MSGs) in commonly used experimental animals. Oral mucosal tissues containing MSGs were dissected and sampled. The sialomucin nature was examined and the expression patterns of aquaporin (AQP) family were assessed. MSGs were widely distributed beneath the oral mucosa in all four species, mainly as mucous glands, with mixed seromucinous glands in dogs and miniature pigs. Serous glands were found in the anterior lingual glands of miniature pigs. The duct system typically included terminal and excretory ducts, with cuboidal, columnar, or pseudostratified columnar epithelium seen in the ducts of rabbits and miniature pigs. The secretion in rats, pigs, and dogs was primarily neutral sialomucin, while rabbits exhibited a dominance of acid sialomucin. The mRNA expressions of AQP1, 3-5, and 8 were detected in the buccal glands of all species, with AQP5 being the most dominant. This study provided detailed insights into the anatomical distribution and histological characteristics of MSGs in rats, rabbits, miniature pigs, and dogs. These findings offer a fundamental basis for veterinary research related to MSGs and could aid in the development of relevant animal models for future studies.
