Association of Salivary Microbial, Fungal Population and Salivary Acidity with Obesity in Children.

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: Childhood obesity is an increasing global health concern associated with both systemic and oral complications. While studies suggest links between body mass index (BMI) and oral health markers, these relationships remain poorly defined. Purpose: This study evaluated the association between salivary microbial/fungal populations, salivary acidity, and obesity in children. Materials and Method: In this cross-sectional descriptive study (2021-2022), 90 children aged 8-12 from public schools in Qom, Iran, were categorized into three groups based on BMI: 30 children with normal weight, 30 overweight children, and 30 obese children. Demographic information, including parental education and occupation, was recorded. Unstimulated saliva samples were collected using the passive drooling method. A total of 0.5 ml of saliva was mixed with 5 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and homogenized thoroughly by using a shaker. Microbiological analysis involved quantifying colonies of Results: No significant relationship was found between childhood obesity and parental education (father's Conclusion: Although oral bacterial levels did not differ significantly across weight groups, fungal species, particularly
