Age, Dental State and General Health as Risk Factors for Xerostomia and Hyposalivation.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 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
Introduction: Xerostomia and hyposalivation are common among adults and may significantly influence both oral health and overall quality of life. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze patient-related risk factors of xerostomia and hyposalivation in a clinical cohort. Materials and Methods: The clinical evaluation included measurements of unstimulated and stimulated salivary flow rates. Furthermore, the xerostomia inventory (XI) was employed, and an additional general question on xerostomia was included. For analyzing associations, nonparametric tests, chi-square tests, correlation analyses, and binary logistic regression were used. Results: A total of 116 adult volunteers participated in this study (59.5% women; mean age: 50.2 ± 18.7 years). Xerostomia was found in 14.7% of participants, while hyposalivation at rest and under stimulation was detected in 21.6% and 4.3%, respectively. The participants with xerostomia were significantly older ( Conclusion: Age, hyposalivation at rest, and XI score are the strongest markers of reduced salivary flow and xerostomia.
