1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been found to play a role in inflammation and vascular complications. The receptor for AGE (RAGE) is expressed on many cells and is up-regulated during inflammation. To date, RAGE expression or its correlation with nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-kappabeta) expression has not been demonstrated in inflammatory periapical lesions. In this study, periapical tissue was obtained from 38 patients and processed for RAGE and NF-kappabeta expression by using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Various patient variables were examined as predictors for these novel protein expressions. The results demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between the expression of RAGE and NF-kappabeta (P = .001). When comparing whites and African Americans, a statistically significant difference was noted, with the African American group exhibiting a higher expression of RAGE (analysis of variance, F= 12.746, P = .002). A positive linear correlation of their presence was demonstrated in inflamed periradicular tissues. This study outlines the possible use of these proteins as potential markers for periapical inflammation.
