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

Odonto/osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) is a key process in tooth root formation and development. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unknown. In the present study, it was identified that guanine and nucleotide binding protein 3 (GNAI3) was at least in part responsible for the odonto/osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs. GNAI3 was markedly induced in mouse tooth root development in vivo and in human SCAPs mineralization in vitro. Notably, knockdown of GNAI3 by lentiviral vectors expressing short‑hairpin RNAs against GNAI3 significantly inhibited the proliferation, cell cycle progression and migration of SCAPs, as well as odonto/osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs in vitro, suggesting that GNAI3 may play an essential role in tooth root development. The promotive role of GNAI3 in odonto/osteogenic differentiation was further confirmed by downregulation of odonto/osteogenic makers in GNAI3‑deficient SCAPs. In addition, knockdown of GNAI3 effectively suppressed activity of c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular‑signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathways that was induced during SCAPs differentiation, suggesting that GNAI3 promotes SCAPs mineralization at least partially via JNK/ERK signaling. Taken together, the present results implicate GNAI3 as a critical regulator of odonto/osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs in tooth root development, and suggest a possible role of GNAI3 in regeneration processes in dentin or other tissues.
