Promoting effect of rapamycin on osteogenic differentiation of maxillary sinus membrane stem cells.
Article in PeerJ, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundStem cells located in the maxillary sinus membrane can differentiate into osteocytes. Our study aimed to evaluate the effect of rapamycin (RAPA) on the osteogenic differentiation of maxillary sinus membrane stem cells (MSMSCs).
methodsColony-forming unit assay, immunophenotype identification assay, and multi-differentiation assay confirmed characteristics of MSMSCs obtained from SD rats. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and flow cytometry (FCM) identified the initial autophagic level of MSMSCs induced by RAPA. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) evaluated subsequent autophagic levels and osteogenic differentiation. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and alizarin red staining (ARS) evaluated subsequent osteogenic differentiation. We performed a histological examination to clarify in vivo osteogenesis with ectopic bone mass from BALB/c nude mice.
resultsMSMSCs possessed an active proliferation and multi-differentiation capacity, showing a phenotype of mesenchymal stem cells. The autophagic level increased with increasing RAPA (0, 10, 100, 1,000 nM) and decreased over time. ALP activity and calcium nodules forming in four RAPA-treated groups on three-time points (7, 14, 21 d) showed significant differences.
conclusionRAPA can promote osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs, indicating a possible relationship between osteogenic differentiation and autophagy.
