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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of integrin-α5 (ITGA5) in regulating the migration capacity of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs), which might provide new evidence for understanding the repair and regeneration mechanisms of dental pulp tissues. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe enzyme digestion method was employed to isolate the hDPSCs from dental pulp tissues. The cell surface markers of hDPSCs were detected using flow cytometry analysis. Then the colony forming and multi-differentiation capacity of hDPSCs were evaluated. The lentivirus vector that carried the ITGA5 shRNA was constructed and real-time PCR was used to examine the effectiveness of ITGA5 shRNA lentivirus. Then transwell assay was performed to evaluate the impact of ITGA5 inhibition on the migration capability of hDPSCs.

resultsOur results showed that the cells we isolated from the dental pulps were positive for mesenchymal stem cells biomarkers. In addition, the cells possessed both colony forming capacity and multi-differentiation potential. ITGA5 shRNA lentivirus could not only infect hDPSCs with high efficiency, but also down-regulate the expression level of ITGA5 mRNA significantly (P<0.01). The transwell assay revealed the number of cells that migrated to the lower chamber was significantly less in the ITGA5 shRNA group compared with that in the scrambled shRNA group (P=0.016).

conclusionITGA5 plays an important role in maintaining and regulating the normal migration capacity of hDPSCs.
