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

background/purposePeriodontitis is an inflammatory, destructive disease caused by periodontal bacteria, and its molecular mechanism remains unclear. The aims of this study are to evaluate the expressions of Wnt3a and Dkk1 in experimental periodontitis (EP) and preliminarily explore their roles in periodontal diseases. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 64 six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group and an EP group. The EP group was prepared by using silk ligature combined with intraoral bacteria inoculation. To assess the periodontal inflammation and bone destruction extent, hematoxylin and eosin staining and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining was performed 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks after the modeling, respectively, and immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were also performed to detect the changes of Wnt3a and Dkk1 in periodontal tissue and plasma.

resultsWnt3a expression was significantly decreased in the EP group when compared with the normal group (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, Dkk1 expression was significantly increased in the EP group when compared with the normal group (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe expression of Wnt3a and Dkk1 was well correlated with EP. It is suggested that Wnt3a and Dkk1 may be involved in periodontal diseases.
