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

Blood group antigens are present on red blood cells and in bodily fluids like saliva, making them useful in forensic investigations when blood or tissue samples are unavailable. Therefore, it is of interest to determine the secretory status of A, B, H antigens in saliva to correlate it with blood samples. A prospective, randomized, cross-sectional study of 102 individuals was conducted, with saliva collected using drooling and gauze methods. Blood group was determined using slide agglutination. A strong correlation (Pearson coefficient r = .980**) was observed between ABH antigens in saliva and blood group as well as with dry salivary sample (p = 0.04*). Thus, the feasibility and reliability of identifying ABO blood group antigens in saliva, supporting its potential as a non-invasive alternative for forensic and clinical applications is shown.
