Effect of menopause on salivary parameters and dental caries status: A comparative study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. 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
Some researchers reported decreased salivary flow in post-menopausal women. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate salivary pH, buffering capacity, salivary flow rate and ICDAS scores in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women to assess their impact on oral health. Hence, 32 healthy women were included, with 16 pre-menopausal women (mean age 26 years) serving as the control group and 16 post-menopausal women (mean age 52 years) forming the study group. Saliva collection was standardized and salivary flow rate, pH and buffering capacity were measured using established methods, while ICDAS scores were assessed clinically. The results demonstrated a reduction in salivary flow rate and pH in post-menopausal women, along with higher ICDAS scores compared to the control group, although buffering capacity remained within normal limits. Thus, we show that decreased salivary flow in post-menopausal women may contribute to increased dental caries risk.
