Association Between Serum Symmetric Dimethylarginine and Tooth Resorption in Cats: An Exploratory Study on the Oral-Renal Axis.

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
backgroundTooth resorption (TR) is a prevalent dental condition with under-investigated systemic implications, particularly regarding renal health. This study aimed to evaluate renal biomarkers, specifically symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), and the association between TR and blood parameters.
methodsThirty-six cats (24 TR; 12 controls) were evaluated via intraoral radiography and blood analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors for TR, adjusting for age and sex.
resultsTooth resorption was diagnosed in 66.7% of the cats, predominantly affecting the mandibular first molars (409) and fourth premolars (108). A strong association was identified between TR stages and lesion types (
conclusionsOur findings regarding the oral-renal axis emphasize that feline TR involves chronic systemic inflammation. Consequently, it should be managed as a condition with measurable systemic impacts rather than merely a localized disease.
