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

The osteogenic differentiation of dental follicle cells (DFCs) is inhibited by the onset of cellular senescence, but the cause for this is largely unknown. Recently it was shown that WNT5a, which is an inductor of the non-canonical WNT pathway, stimulates both cellular senescence and osteogenic differentiation of different cell types. In this study, we investigated the role of WNT5a for viability and osteogenic differentiation in human DFCs after the induction of cellular senescence. DFCs were cultivated until the induction of cellular senescence. The induction of cellular senescence was confirmed by β-galactosidase staining, estimation of population doubling time, and slightly telomere length shortening. After induction of cellular senescence, the expression of WNT5A and the potential to induce the osteogenic differentiation decreased. Inhibition of WNT5A by specific siRNAs had significant effect on the viability of DFCs. Cell proliferation was reduced, whereas both cellular senescence and cell death were increased in DFCs. However, an inhibition of WNT5A did only slightly effect the osteogenic differentiation of DFCs. Our results suggest that WNT5A supports viability during both cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of DFCs.
