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 goal of this study was to use 3D bioprinting technology to create a bioengineered dental construct containing human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). To accomplish this, we first developed a novel bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) peptide-tethering bioink formulation and examined its rheological properties, its printability, and the structural stability of the bioprinted construct. Second, we evaluated the survival and differentiation of hDPSCs in the bioprinted dental construct by measuring cell viability, proliferation, and gene expression, as well as histological and immunofluorescent analyses. Our results showed that the peptide conjugation into the gelatin methacrylate-based bioink formulation was successfully performed. We determined that greater than 50% of the peptides remained in the bioprinted construct after three weeks in vitro cell culture. Human DPSC viability was >90% in the bioprinted constructs immediately after the printing process. Alizarin Red staining showed that the BMP peptide construct group exhibited the highest calcification as compared to the growth medium, osteogenic medium, and non-BMP peptide construct groups. In addition, immunofluorescent and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses showed robust expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein and osteocalcin in the BMP peptide dental constructs. Together, these results strongly suggested that BMP peptide-tethering bioink could accelerate the differentiation of hDPSCs in 3D bioprinted dental constructs.
