Comparative Evaluation of Salivary and Serum Levels of Uric Acid (UA) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) among Patients with Periodontal Disease: A Biochemical Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. 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: Periodontitis is initiated by the formation of plaque biofilm leading to loss of equilibrium between microbial organisms and host response, resulting in disease progression. Antioxidants such as uric acid (UA) found in saliva and serum provide protection against free radical. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an intracellular enzyme detected in cellular cytoplasm of the cells in human body, which becomes extracellular on cell death. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare salivary and serum levels of uric acid (UA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as specific biomarkers for periodontal tissue destruction among patients with periodontal disease. Materials and Methods: Ninety subjects were selected and placed in three groups comprising thirty subjects in each group. Group 1: Comprised of clinically healthy periodontium patients. Group 2: Comprised of patients with chronic generalized gingivitis. Group 3: Comprised of patients with generalized chronic periodontitis. Serum and salivary samples were collected and subjected to laboratory analysis to asses UA and LDH levels. Results: Serum and salivary levels of LDH and UA were found to be within normal limits in healthy subjects while LDH level increased in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. UA level decreased in periodontitis patients. Conclusion: LDH and UA may be considered as biochemical and diagnostic markers for periodontal diseases.
