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

Nuclear factor I-C (NFIC) plays critical roles in the regulation of tooth development by influencing the biological behaviors of stem cells in the dental germ. This study aimed to investigate the effect of NFIC on the vitality and osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of rat dental follicle cells (DFCs). DFCs were isolated from dental follicles in the first molars of neonatal rats. DFCs expressed mesenchymal stromal cell markers CD29, CD44 and CD90 and had capabilities for self-renewal and multipotent differentiation. Overexpression of NFIC promoted the proliferation of DFCs without markedly influencing the apoptosis of DFCs. Moreover, NFIC increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in DFCs and upregulated the mRNA levels of osteogenic-related markers, namely, collagen type I (Col I), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and ALP, as well as β-catenin. In contrast, silencing NFIC by siRNA increased the apoptosis of DFCs and downregulated the expression of osteogenic-related markers. In conclusion, these results suggested that upregulation of NFIC may promote the proliferation and osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of DFCs.
