Calcitriol exerts a mineralization-inductive effect comparable to that of vitamin C in cultured human periodontium cells.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
This study inspected whether calcitriol could exert a mineralization-inductive effect comparable to that of vitamin C in cultured human periodontium cells (hPDCs). The mRNA expression of the mineralization-related biomarkers core-binding factor subunit alpha-1 (Cbfa1), collagen 1 α1 (Col-I), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteopontin (OPN), bone sialoprotein (BSP), osteocalcin (OCN), vitamin D receptor (VDR), cementum protein 1 (CEMP-1), cementum attachment protein (CAP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) was surveyed after incubation of hPDCs with vitamin C and calcitriol for 2 weeks. Translational expression information from ALP activity and CEMP-1 and CAP immunofluorescence assays was acquired from hPDCs at the second and third weeks. Extracellular calcifications were confirmed by von Kossa staining, Alizarin Red staining and synchrotron transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) at the fourth and fifth weeks. It was found that both vitamin C and calcitriol not only increased mineralization-related mRNA fold-changes but also enhanced ALP activity, CEMP-1 immunofluorescence, von Kossa and Alizarin Red staining and TXM-associated calcifications.
