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

Odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) is essential for the formation of reparative dentin after dental caries or injury. Our previous studies have demonstrated that krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a critical transcription factor that promotes the odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs. Analysis of the microRNA binding sites within the 3'-UTR of KLF4 revealed that QKI, an RNA-binding protein, shared the most microRNAs with KLF4, presumably served as a "competent endogenous RNA (ceRNA)" with KLF4. Thus, we hypothesized QKI could also promote odontoblastic differentiation. In this study, we found QKI was up-regulated during mouse odontoblast differentiation in vivo and hDPSCs odontoblastic differentiation in vitro. Overexpression or knockdown of QKI in hDPSCs led to the increase or decrease of odontoblast marker genes' expressions, indicating its positive role in odontoblastic differentiation. We further validated that QKI served as a key ceRNA of KLF4 via interaction of the shared miRNAs in hDPSCs. Last, we found that, as an RNA binding protein, QKI protein could bind to, and stabilize dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) mRNA, resulting in the augmented accumulation of DSP protein. Taken together, our study indicates that QKI promotes the odontoblastic differentiation of hDPSCs by acting as a ceRNA of KLF4 and as a binding protein of DSPP mRNA to stabilize its level. These two mechanisms of QKI will together positively regulate the downstream pathways and hence potentiate odontoblastic differentiation.
