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

Osteopetrosis is a hereditary disorder characterized by sclerotic, thick, weak, and brittle bone. The biological behavior of mesenchymal cells obtained from osteopetrosis patients has not been well-studied. Isolated mesenchymal stem/stromal cells from dental pulp (DP-MSSCs) of recently extracted deciduous teeth from osteopetrosis (OP) patients and healthy controls (HCs) were compared. We evaluated whether the dental pulp of OP patients has a population of MSSCs with similar multilineage differentiation capability to DP-MSSCs of healthy subjects. Stem/progenitor cells were characterized using immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and proteomics. Our DP-MSSCs were strongly positive for CD44, CD73, CD105, and CD90. DP-MSSCs obtained from HC subjects and OP patients showed similar patterns of proliferation and differentiation as well as gene expression. Proteomic analysis identified 1499 unique proteins with 94.3% similarity in global protein fingerprints of HCs and OP patients. Interestingly, we observed subtle differences in expressed proteins of osteopetrosis disease-related in pathways, including MAPK, ERK 1/2, PI3K, and integrin, rather than in the stem cell signaling network. Our findings of similar protein expression signatures in DP-MSSCs of HC and OP patients are of paramount interest, and further in vivo validation study is needed. There is the possibility that OP patients could have their exfoliating deciduous teeth banked for future use in regenerative dentistry.
