1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Uniform measurement of the salivary flow rate is crucial in diagnosing hyposalivation and hypersalivation. However, there is considerable variation in the methods used to assess salivary flow rates. This variation of collection methods makes it difficult to compare data and to set well-established threshold values for hypo- and hypersalivation. Therefore, there is a need for standardised methods to measure the salivary flow rates in a clinical setting. This study describes the Dutch consensus statement for measuring unstimulated and stimulated salivary flow rates in a clinical setting. This may help in the development of an international standardised protocol for the assessment of salivary flow rates in clinical settings.
