Disturbed tooth germ development in the absence of MINT in the cultured mouse mandibular explants.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The Msx2-interacting nuclear target protein (MINT) is a nuclear matrix protein that regulates the development of many tissues. However, little is known regarding the role of MINT in tooth development. In this study, we prepared polyclonal antibodies against MINT, and found that that MINT was expressed in different cells at each stage of tooth germ development by immunohistochemistry. The role of MINT in tooth development was further illustrated by the misshapen and severely hypoplastic tooth organ in the cultured mandibular explants of MINT deficient mice. From the initiation to cap stage, the differences between mutants and wild-type molars were more and more distinguished histologically. In the MINT-deficient mandibular explants, the tooth germ was reduced in the overall size and lacked enamel knot, with abnormal dental lamina and collapsed stellate reticulum. Furthermore, the BrdU incorporation experiment showed that the proliferation activity was significantly reduced in MINT-deficient dental epithelium. Our results suggest that MINT plays an important role in tooth development, in particular, epithelial morphogenesis.
