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

background/purposeDental pulp stem cells can be isolated from human teeth with deep caries (cDPSCs), but their biological characteristics are still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the angiogenic potential of cDPSCs and compare them to dental pulp stem cells from human normal teeth (nDPSCs). MATERIALS AND

methodsCells were isolated from human pulp tissue of normal and infected teeth with deep caries. Basic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) characterization was conducted. Colony forming units and proliferation ability were evaluated in nDPSCs and cDPSCs. Expression of VEGF in both tissues and cells was examined by immunohistochemical staining. After stimulating nDPSCs and cDPSCs with an angiogenic medium, angiogenic markers were evaluated by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Finally, tube formation assays were used to evaluate the

resultsBoth nDPSCs and cDPSCs possessed typical MSC characteristics. cDPSCs had enhanced colony formation and proliferation capacities than nDPSCs did. The expression of VEGF was higher in pulp tissue from teeth with deep caries and cDPSCs than in normal tissue and nDPSCs. When both cell types were grown

conclusioncDPSCs maintained MSC traits and presented a higher angiogenesis potential than nDPSCs.
