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

The alveolar bone provides structural support against compressive and tensile forces generated during mastication as well as during orthodontic treatment. To avoid abnormal alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss, a balanced bone turnover by bone-degrading osteoclasts and bone-generating osteoblasts is of great relevance. Unlike its contradictory role in regulating osteoclast and osteoblast cell differentiation, the TGF-β/BMP-family member GDF15 is well known for its important functions in the regulation of cell metabolism, as well as cell fate and survival in response to cellular stress. Here, we provide first evidence for a potential role of GDF15 in translating mechanical stimuli into cellular changes in immature osteoblasts. We detected enhanced levels of GDF15 in vivo in periodontal ligament cells after the simulation of tooth movement in rat model system as well as in vitro in mechanically stressed human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Moreover, mechanical stimulation enhanced GDF15 secretion by periodontal ligament cells and the stimulation of human primary osteoblast with GDF15 in vitro resulted in an increased transcription of osteogenic marker genes like RUNX2, osteocalcin (OCN) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Together, the present data emphasize for the first time a potential function of GDF15 in regulating differentiation programs of immature osteoblasts according to mechanical stimulation.
