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

objectivesBone tissue is constantly being moulded and shaped by the coordinated action of bone-resorbing osteoclasts and bone-synthesizing osteoblasts. This study addresses the long-term effects of endodontic sealers' extracts (AH Plus™, GuttaFlow™, Tubliseal™, Sealapex™ and RealSeal™) on co-cultures of human osteoclastic and osteoblastic cells.

methodsThe sealers were mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions, freshly extracted with culture medium (1.3 cm(2)/ml; 24 h; 37 °C, 5% CO2/air) and diluted (1:20-1:2,500). Co-cultures of osteoclastic and osteoblastic cells, established from precursors present in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and bone marrow cells, respectively, were exposed to the extracts for 21 days. Co-cultures were characterized for the osteoclastic and osteoblastic response.

resultsThe sealers caused a dose-dependent decrease on TRAP and ALP activities, respectively, an osteoclastic and an osteoblastic marker. The resorbing ability of the osteoclastic cells and the expression of osteoclastic and osteoblastic genes were also decreased; in addition, the extracts affected several intracellular signalling pathways. Inhibition was higher during the two first weeks, followed by adaptive cell responses. Osteoblastic response was more sensitive to the extracts' toxicity and showed lower adaptive ability. SIGNIFICANCE: A correlation to the clinical situation cannot be predicted; however, the results suggest that the sealers' eluents might disrupt the highly regulated interaction between osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells, compromising the local bone metabolism. Also, the higher susceptibility of the osteoblastic response might be particularly relevant in the initial stages of the healing of periapical lesions, due to the significant role of the bone formation events.
