Salivary Proteome Profile of Xerostomic Patients Reveals Pathway Dysregulation Related to Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Pilot Study.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Xerostomia, the subjective complaint of a dry mouth, is frequently associated with salivary flow reduction and/or salivary gland hypofunction. This condition significantly impacts an individual's quality of life and oral health, including difficulties in speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Xerostomia may be caused by autoimmune diseases, xerogenic medications, and radiation therapy. Our objective was to identify differentially expressed proteins in the saliva of patients with medication and autoimmune disease-associated xerostomia compared to non-xerostomic control subjects. Two groups of individuals (N = 45 total) were recruited: non-xerostomic subjects (NX-group;
