Salivary biomarkers for the diagnosis of gastric cancer: a systematic review.
Review in Revista cientifica odontologica (Universidad Cientifica del Sur). 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
Background: Recent advancements reveal saliva as a crucial source of diagnostic biomarkers for various diseases, notably gastric cancer. This systematic review evaluates these biomarkers, emphasizing their clinical applicability and potential in early detection. Methods: An extensive electronic search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies. Salivary biomarkers were analyzed as independent variables, with gastric cancer as the dependent variable. The study adhered to a protocol registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021259519). Results: Our analysis identified a range of biomarkers, highlighting three proteins - cystatin-B (CSTB), triosephosphate isomerase (TPI1), and deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 protein (DMBT1) - as particularly accurate for gastric cancer diagnosis. Conclusions: Salivary biomarkers hold substantial promise for the early detection of gastric cancer. Future research should aim to refine study design and validation for enhancing the quality and applicability of these biomarkers.
