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 cells (PDLCs), which have potential for multilineage differentiation, are candidates for use in regeneration of periodontal tissue defects; however, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the lineage commitment of PDLCs remains limited. C4orf7, which is specifically expressed in the periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue, may be crucial in deciding the fate of PDLCs and regulating the periodontal bone balance. In this study, we examined the expression of C4orf7 in PDL tissue, using immunohistochemical staining. We transfected PDLCs with lentiviral vectors expressing C4orf7 and examined the effect of C4orf7 on the balance of PDLC osteogenic and osteoclastogenic differentiation. Osteogenic induction resulted in the downregulation of mRNA and protein expression levels of the osteogenic/cementoblastic markers:
