Screening of Salivary Biomarkers of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in a Diabetic Rat Model.
Article in Current issues in molecular biology, 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
Diabetes is a significant risk factor for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), a severe oral complication with limited treatment options. Salivary testing offers a noninvasive approach for monitoring BRONJ risk; however, few studies have investigated salivary biomarkers in BRONJ. This study screened salivary biomarkers that reflect the progression of BRONJ under diabetic conditions. A diabetic BRONJ rat model was established to screen for diabetes-related biochemical biomarkers in saliva. Streptozotocin (STZ) administration elevated blood glucose and glycated albumin levels and altered lipid and renal function markers, confirming diabetes induction. Subsequent zoledronic acid (ZA) administration and extraction of the maxillary first molar delayed epithelialization, inflammatory cell infiltration, bone exposure, and necrosis in extraction sockets, indicating successful establishment of a diabetic BRONJ model. This model showed reductions in submandibular and sublingual gland size, as well as in acinar cell number. Although salivary secretion volume was reduced, saliva samples were successfully collected from all groups. Screening identified elevated urea nitrogen (UN) and total ketone bodies (T-KB) in the STZ + ZA group. These findings suggest that salivary UN and T-KB may reflect disease progression and serve as potential biomarkers for predicting BRONJ risk under diabetic conditions.
