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

backgroundIn periodontal tissue engineering, periodontal ligament stem cells derived from patients with periodontitis (P-PDLSCs) are among the most promising and accessible stem cells for repairing disrupted alveolar bone and other connective tissues around the teeth. However, the inflammatory environment influences the osteogenic differentiation ability of P-PDLSCs. We examined low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in P-PDLSCs in vitro and in rats with experimental periodontitis to determine whether LIPUS can enhance the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. MATERIALS AND

methodsP-PDLSCs were harvested and isolated from the periodontal tissues around the teeth of periodontitis patients, and healthy PDLSCs (H-PDLSCs) were obtained from tissues around healthy teeth. After validation by flow cytometry analysis, the P-PDLSCs were cultured in osteogenic medium either pretreated with the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) inhibitor 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA) or not pretreated and then treated with or without LIPUS (90 mW/cm

resultsOur data showed that the P-PDLSCs derived from periodontitis tissues were in a more pronounced ERS state than were the H-PDLSCs, which resulted in the former being associated with increased inflammation and decreased osteogenic ability. LIPUS can alleviate ERS and inflammation while increasing the bone formation capacity of P-PDLSCs in vivo and in vitro.

conclusionsLIPUS may be an effective method to enhance the outcome of periodontal tissue engineering treatments of periodontitis by suppressing inflammation and increasing the osteogenic differentiation of P-PDLSCs through the unfolded protein response pathway, and more detailed studies are needed in the future.
