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

Periodontitis has been advocated as a systematic chronic low-grade infection burden. However, the relationship between periodontitis and bone defect healing has not been elucidated. One hundred and eight male Wister rats were randomly assigned into three groups: control (healthy) group, periodontitis group, and periodontitis plus human tumor necrosis factor receptorII:IgG Fc fusion protein (rhTNFR:Fc) group. The experimental periodontitis model was established by ligaturing with orthodontic wire and silk suture plus local administration of 20 μl of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Mandibular bone defects in size of 4 × 2 × 1 mm were created for all the rats and rhTNFR:Fc subcutaneously injected at neck at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg every 3 days for the periodontitis plus rhTNFR:Fc group. The gene and protein expressions of bone-related markers in the healing tissue were monitored and new bone formation was histologically evaluated. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining was performed to determine the number of osteoclasts. The results showed that the mRNA and protein expressions of osteogenesis-related markers were significantly lower while nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) gene expression was significantly higher in the periodontitis group. The periodontitis group showed decreased new bone formation and increased number of osteoclasts when compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference between the periodontitis plus rhTNFR:Fc group and the control group. These results demonstrated that periodontitis may restrain the mandibular bone healing via disturbing osteogenic and osteoclastic balance in which tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) could act as a leverage.
