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

Odontoblasts are a type of non-proliferating and terminally differentiated cells that play an important role in the pulpo-dentinal complex. Mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs), which can differentiate into odontoblast-like cells in vitro, have a limited life span. We combined the traditional strategy of "Cre/LoxP-based reversible immortalization" with a tamoxifen-regulated Cre recombination system to generate a tamoxifen-mediated reversibly immortalized mouse dental papilla cell line, mDPCET. mDPCs were sequentially transduced with a floxed SV40 T antigen-TK (SV40Tag-TK) and an (ERT2)Cre(ERT2)-expressing plasmid. Clonal-isolated SV40Tag- and Cre-positive cells showed modified growth characteristics and a significantly extended life span. When mDPCET cells were treated with 4-hydroxytamoxifen, (ERT2)Cre(ERT2) translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and caused the excision of SV40Tag-TK, which led to the reversion of mDPCETs. After the immortalization was reversed, the cells underwent replicative senescence and transitioned into a more differentiated state. Tamoxifen-mediated reversible immortalization, therefore, allows for the expansion of primary mDPCs, leads to the production of odontoblast-like cells that retain most odontoblast-specific properties, and can represent a safe and ready-to-use method due to its simple manipulation.
