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

Odontogenesis consists of a series of consecutive tooth morphogenesis stages, in which apoptosis is involved to eliminate the unnecessary cells. Autophagy, a lysosome or endosome-mediated self-degradation process, is indicated to participate in embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis associated with apoptosis. This study hypothesized that autophagy may be involved and associated with apoptosis in odontogenesis. The transcripts of autophagy-related genes (Atg5, Atg7, and Atg12) were positively detected in tooth germs at embryonic day (E) 14.5 and postnatal day (P) 5.5 by quantitative real-time PCR. The protein expression of Atg5-Atg12 conjugate and lipidation of LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3, autophagic marker) were revealed in the developing tooth germs by western blot. Meanwhile, LC3 was immunolocalized in the enamel organ and dental papilla at embryonic stages (E13.5-E18.5), especially stage E14.5 cervical loop and the PEK that facing the mesenchyme. At postnatal stages (P1.5-P15.5), besides the dental epithelium cells, LC3 was detected in the differentiating and differentiated odontoblasts, dental follicle cells, and Hertwig's epithelium root sheath cells. Moreover, double-immunofluorescence analysis revealed the partial colocalization of LC3 and TUNEL signal in the E14.5 PEK that facing the mesenchyme, the E16.5 stratum intermedium and outer enamel epithelium, the P5.5 stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum. Nevertheless, LC3 was also found in non-apoptotic cells. Furthermore, the transmission electron microscopic images revealed the presence of autophagy, as well as the partial colocalization of autophagic vacuoles and apoptotic nuclei during tooth development. Our findings imply the developmental appearance of autophagy and its partial colocalization with apoptosis during odontogenesis.
