RANK, RANKL and OPG expressions in a permanent molar with a replacement resorption.
Article in Odontology, 2013. 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
The aim of this study was to explore the expression of RANK, RANKL and OPG during ankylosis. Structural details and immunohistochemical investigations of the expression of RANK, RANKL and OPG in an extracted secondary retained permanent molar of a 12-year-old girl are reported. Woven and lamellar bones were observed in the thickness of the remodeled dental wall and a tertiary dentin was noticed around the pulp cavity. The resorbing multinucleated cells expressed TRAP and RANK but few of them also expressed RANKL. Both odontoblasts and osteoblasts expressed TRAP and RANK, but the expression of RANKL was limited to osteoblasts. OPG remained undetected. The present case reveals unusual expression of RANKL in the resorbing cells, TRAP and RANK in both osteoblasts and odontoblasts, and a failure of detection of OPG. These proteins could be involved in the pathogenesis of tooth ankylosis.
