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

backgroundAlthough the involvement of glycoprotein non-metastatic melanomal protein B (GPNMB) in regulating the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPCs) has been identified, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of miR-508-5p on the GPNMB expression and the odontogenic differentiation of hDPCs.

methodsIn this study, hDPCs were isolated and identified by flow cytometric analysis. Based on bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify GPNMB acting as a target of miR-508-5p. The regulatory roles of miR-508-5p in odontogenetic differentiation of hDPCs were investigated through its inhibition or overexpression (miRNA mimics and miRNA inhibitors). qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of odontogenetic marker genes and proteins. The assays of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red S staining were performed to evaluate the odontogenetic phenotype.

resultsWe first found that the levels of miR-508-5p expression decreased gradually during odontogenesis of hDPCs, while the expressions of GPNMB were upregulated obviously. The suppressive effects of miR-508-5p on GPNMB were determined by oligonucleotide transfection in hDPCs and dual luciferase reporter assay in 293T cells. Subsequently, the significant inhibition of hDPC odontogenesis after the overexpression of miR-508-5p was observed, which is consistent with the decreased expression levels of several odontoblast-specific genes, such as dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP-1), dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), and osteocalcin (OCN), as well as the decreased activity of ALP and weakened Alizarin Red S staining. Furthermore, ectopic expression of GPNMB (lacking 3'-UTR) rescued the effects of miR-508-5p on odontogenic differentiation.

conclusionsOur study demonstrated that miR-508-5p regulated the osteogenesis of hDPCs by targeting GPNMB and provided novel insight into the critical roles of microRNAs in hDPC differentiation.
