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

Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) have mesenchymal-stem-cells-like qualities, and are considered as one of the candidates of future clinical application in periodontal regeneration therapy. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD) is widely used in promoting periodontal regeneration. However, the effects of EMD on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human PDLSCs grown on the Ti implant surface are still no clear. Therefore, this study examined the effects of EMD on human PDLSCs in vitro. Human PDLSCs were isolated from healthy participants, and seeded on the surface of Ti implant disks and stimulated with various concentrations of EMD. Cell proliferation was determined with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs was evaluated by the measurement of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red staining, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. The results indicated that EMD at concentrations (5-60 µg/ml) increased the viability and proliferation of PDLSCs. The treatment with 30 and 60 µg/ml of EMD significantly elevated ALP activity, augmented mineralized nodule formation and calcium deposition, and upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of Runx-2 and osteocalcin (OCN) in the PDLSCs grown on the Ti surface. Further investigation found that EMD treatment did not change the protein levels of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), p-PI3K, Akt and mTOR, but significantly upregulated the phosphorylated levels of Akt and mTOR. Collectively, these results suggest that EMD stimulation can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs grown on Ti surface, which is possibly associated with the activation of Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
