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

The fate of the palatal medial edge epithelial (MEE) cells undergoes programming cell death, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT) coincident with the process of palatal fusion and disappearance of MEE. Mesenchymal cells in the palate have both cranial neural crest (CNC) and non-CNC origins. The objectives of this study were to identify the populations of palatal mesenchymal cells using β-galactosidase (β-gal) and DiI cell lineage markers, and to determine whether MEE-derived cells continued to express transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3) and transforming growth factor-β type III receptor (TβR-III), which were specific for MEE. A model has been developed using Wnt1 tissue specific expression of Cre-recombinase to activate β-gal solely in the CNC. The expressions of TGF-β3 and TβR-III in MEE were temporally correlated with critical events in palatogenesis. Three cell populations could be distinguished in the palatal mesenchymal CNC-derived, non-CNC derived and MEE-derived. After fusion, β-gal⁻ and DiI+ mesenchymal cells continued to express TGF-β3, however TβR-III was expressed only in the epithelial MEE, as well as keratin expression. In addition, we performed laser capture microdissection to identify mRNA expression of isolated DiI+ MEE cells. Both epithelial and transdifferentiated MEE have expressed TGF-β3, however, TβR-III was only expressed in epithelium. Extracellular matrix, especially MMP13 has been expressed coincident with fused stage which can be strongly associated with TGF-β3. These results demonstrate that combining a heritable marker and a cell lineage dye can distinguish different populations of mesenchymal cells in the developing palate. Furthermore, TGF-β3 and MMP13 could be strongly associated with EMT in palatogenesis.
