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

objectivesTricalcium silicate (TCS)-based biomaterials induce differentiation of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) into odontoblasts/osteoblasts, which is regulated by the interplay between various intracellular pathways and their resultant secretome. The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptome-wide effects by next-generation RNA sequencing of custom-prepared hDPCs stimulated with TCS-based biomaterials: ProRoot white MTA (WMTA) (Dentsply, Tulsa; Tulsa, OK) and Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur des Fosses, France).

methodsSelf-isolated hDPCs were seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 5 × 10

resultsOur RNA sequencing results for the first time identified 7533 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different treatments and the number of DEGs in Biodentine was higher than ProRoot WMTA at both 3 and 7 days. Despite their differential gene expression, both the TCS-based biomaterial treatments showed gene expressions mainly involved in odontoblast differentiation, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, dentinogenesis, and tooth mineralization.

conclusionsThe results of the present study illustrate that several important signalling pathways are induced by hDPCs stimulated with TCS-based biomaterials. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The differential expression of the genes associated with odontogenesis, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, dentinogenesis, and mineralization may affect the prognosis of teeth treated with Biodentine or ProRoot white MTA.
