MicroRNA-138 Inhibits Periodontal Progenitor Differentiation under Inflammatory Conditions.
Article in Journal of dental research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Inflammatory conditions as they occur during periodontal disease often result in decreased alveolar bone levels and a loss of connective tissue homeostasis. Here we have focused on the effect of microRNA-138 (miR-138) as a potential regulator of periodontal stem cells as they affect homeostasis during inflammatory conditions. Our data indicate that miR-138 was significantly upregulated in our periodontal disease animal model. Interaction of miR-138 with a predicted targeting site on the osteocalcin (OC) promoter resulted in a 3.7-fold reduction of luciferase activity in promoter assays compared with controls; and miR-138 overexpression in periodontal progenitors significantly inhibited OC (3.4-fold), Runx2 (2.8-fold), and collagen I (2.6-fold). Moreover, treatment with inflammatory modulators such as interleukin (IL)-6 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) resulted in a significant 2.2-fold (IL-6) or 1.9-fold (LPS) increase in miR-138 expression, while OC and Runx2 expression was significantly decreased as a result of treatment with each inflammatory mediator. Further defining the role of miR-138 in the OC-mediated control of mineralization, we demonstrated that the LPS-induced downregulation of OC expression was partially reversed after miR-138 knockdown. LPS, miR-138 mimic, and OC small interfering RNA inhibited osteoblast differentiation marker alkaline phosphatase activity, while miR-138 inhibitor and OC protein addition enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity. Supporting the role of OC as an essential modulator of osteoblast differentiation, knockdown of miR-138 or addition of OC protein partially rescued alkaline phosphatase activity in periodontal ligament (PDL) cells subjected to LPS treatment. Our data establish miR-138 inhibitor as a potential therapeutic agent for the prevention of the bone loss associated with advanced periodontal disease.
