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

introductionPromotion odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) is essential for dentin regeneration. Physical cellular microenvironment is of critical importance for stem cells differentiation and influences the function of other biological/chemical factors to differentiation.

methodsBased on adjusting the mechanical/interfacial properties of hydrogels, multicellular spheroids (MCSs) of DPSCs generated through self-organization. The spheroids were characterized by immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, ALP staining and Alizarin Red S staining were performed to evaluate the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs with or without magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) induction.

resultsMCSs of DPSCs exhibited a significant upregulation of E-cadherin and N-cadherin and enriched CD146 positive subpopulation, along with a stronger osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation ability. Moreover, DPSCs spheroids showed more substantial osteogenic differentiation tendency than the classical two-dimensional cultured DPSCs under the stimulation of magnetic IONPs.

conclusionThree-dimensional spheroids culture of DPSCs based on composite viscoelastic materials combined with mechanical/magnetic stimulation may provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent development of dentin or bone regeneration technology.
