How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In patients in the post-COVID period, there is a decrease in the functional activity of the salivary glands. In general, in patients who underwent COVID-19, basal secretion was reduced by 19.51% (P≤0,05); secretion stimulated by chewing - by 31.67% (P≤0.01) and secretion stimulated by acid - by 29.60% (P≤0.01).
