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

backgroundBone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are suitable cell sources for dental pulp regeneration, but the mechanism of BMMSCs differentiation into odontogenic lineage remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to reveal the role of magnesium transporter protein 1 (MagT1) and MAPK pathways in the odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs.

methodsThe RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to explore the altered transcriptome of BMMSCs undergoing odontogenic differentiation induced by tooth germ cell-condition medium (TGC-CM). Pathway analysis was conducted to explore enriched pathways of the differential expression signature. Automated western blot, real-time PCR, shRNA lentivirus, and flow cytometry were used to detect the function of MagTl and MAPK pathway in odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs.

resultsRNA-seq identified 622 differentially expressed genes associated with odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs induced by TGC-CM, some of which were responsible for MAPK pathway. Consistently, we verified that TGC-CM induced odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs through activating ERK/MAPK pathway, and the inactivation of ERK/MAPK pathway inhibited the odontogenic differentiation induced by TGC-CM. We also found MagT1 protein was significantly increased during odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs induced by TGC-CMM, in accordance, MagT1 knockdown significantly decreased the extent of mineralized nodules and the protein levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP-1), and dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSP). Flow cytometry showed that intracellular Mg

conclusionsThis study identified the significant alteration of transcriptome in BMMSCs undergoing odontogenic differentiation induced by TGC-CM. We clarified the pivotal role of MagT1 and ERK/MAPK pathway in odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs, and suppression of MagT1 inhibited the odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs by decreasing the intracellular Mg
