Salivary Metabolomics: A Pilot Study for Screening Biomarkers in Mild-to-moderate Periodontitis.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). 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/
aimThis study aims to identify salivary metabolites that can discriminate patients with mild and moderate periodontitis from healthy controls through comprehensive metabolomic analyses using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS). PATIENTS AND
methodsForty healthy controls, 40 patients with mild periodontitis, and 40 patients with moderate periodontitis were enrolled. Whole unstimulated saliva samples were collected from the participants, and CE-MS was used to comprehensively analyze salivary metabolites. Furthermore, a multiple logistic regression (MLR) model was developed using multiple candidate metabolites, and the combinations of metabolites with the highest area under the curve (AUC) were identified.
resultsThe concentrations of 34 metabolites significantly differed between the mild/moderate periodontitis group and healthy controls. Of these, three were used to develop the MLR model: O-acetylcarnitine, tyrosine, and histidine. The AUC value based on the combination of these three metabolites was 0.867 (sensitivity: 0.73, specificity: 0.90, 95% confidence interval=0.804-0.929,
conclusionSalivary metabolites, including O-acetylcarnitine, tyrosine, and histidine, may serve as potential non-invasive biomarkers for mild-to-moderate periodontitis.
