IL-6, calcium, salivary amylase activity and cortisol as a salivary biomarker-combination associated with obesity: a pilot study.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 2025. 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: As obesity continues to escalate to pandemic levels worldwide, innovative approaches for early diagnosis, risk stratification, and disease monitoring are urgently needed. Saliva presents a promising non-invasive method for biomarker-based screening in obesity. Objective: This study aimed to utilize a multi-biomarker approach to explore associations between salivary biomarkers and obesity. This was done by measuring a pre-selected panel of obesity-related salivary biomarkers and comparing their levels between individuals with and without obesity. Methods: Unstimulated saliva was collected from 57 individuals, including 27 individuals diagnosed with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m Results: The results indicated lower Ca Conclusions: In conclusion, this study highlights IL-6, Ca
