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

objectivesPolyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers have well-defined structures, with monodispersity and easily modified surface groups, and they have broad applications in biomedicine. In this study, phosphorylated PAMAM (P-PAMAM) dendrimers were synthesized based on the idea of mimicking the phosphorylated proteins of dentin non-collagenous proteins (DNCP). Then, proliferation and osteo/odontogenic differentiation effects of P-PAMAM on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were investigated and were compared with DNCP. MATERIALS AND

methodsP-PAMAM was synthesized via the Mannich-type reaction. DNCP were extracted directly from human dentin with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution. Then, the conditioned medium of P-PAMAM and DNCP were prepared respectively and applied to DPSCs. Proliferation of P-PAMAM was investigated with CCK-8, flow cytometry, and EdU test. Osteo/odontogenic differentiation of P-PAMAM was analyzed using alkaline phosphatase activity and staining, RT-PCR, western blot, alizarin red staining, and immunofluorescence staining.

resultsFourier transform infrared spectroscopy and

conclusionsP-PAMAM dendrimers, as a biomimetic analog of DNCP, promote osteo/odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs without influencing their proliferation at a low concentration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This preliminary study about P-PAMAM dendrimers is expected to provide a more convenient bioactive macromolecular material for the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex.
