Pre-Analytical Factors Affecting Extracellular DNA in Saliva.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Salivary DNA is widely used for genetic analyses because of its easy collection. However, its extracellular fraction in particular, similar to the extracellular DNA (ecDNA) in plasma, could be a promising biomarker for oral or systemic diseases. In contrast to genetics, the quantity of salivary ecDNA is of importance and can be affected by the pre-analytical processing of samples, but the details are not known. The aim of our study was to analyze the effects of centrifugation and freezing of saliva on the concentration of ecDNA in saliva. Fifteen healthy volunteers, free of any known systemic or oral diseases, were asked to collect unstimulated saliva samples. Aliquots were centrifuged at 1600×
