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

Neurotrophic factors play important roles in neuron survival, growth and differentiation. In the present research, the expression of multiple neurotrophins and their effects on cell migration were studied in the dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Human DPSCs from five patients were cultured. Expression of neurotrophins and their receptors were evaluated by PCR, immunofluorescent staining and ELISA. Scratch assay was performed in the presence or absence of neurotrophic factors. Level of phosphorylated-ERK was evaluated with Western blotting. Neurotrophins were expressed at various levels in the DPSCs. Treatment of 100 ng/ml BDNF or NT4/5 accelerated wound healing in scratch assay and elevated the expression of phosphorylated-ERK. The work indicated that neurotrophins promoted human DPSCs migration in vitro.
