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

Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and Exendin-4 (EX-4) play beneficial roles in promoting periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) osteogenic differentiation, while the detailed mechanism has not been clarified. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biological mechanism of SDF-1 and EX-4 alone or synergistic application in regulating PDLSCs differentiation by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). A total of 110, 116 and 109 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were generated in osteogenic medium induced PDLSCs treated by SDF-1, EX-4, and SDF-1+EX-4, respectively. The DEGs in SDF-1 group were enriched in signal transduction related signaling pathways; the DEGs in EX-4 group were enriched in metabolism and biosynthesis-related pathways; and the DEGs generated in SDF-1+EX-4 group were mainly enriched in RNA polymerase II transcription, cell differentiation, chromatin organization, protein phosphorylation pathways. Based on Venn analysis, a total of 37 specific DEGs were identified in SDF-1+EX-4 group, which were mainly enriched in negative regulation of autophagy and cellular component disassembly signaling pathways. Short time-series expression miner (STEM) analysis grouped all expressed genes of PDLSCs into 49 clusters according to the dynamic expression patterns and 25 genes, including NRSN2, CHD9, TUBA1A, distributed in 10 gene clusters in SDF-1+EX-4 treated PDLSCs were significantly up-regulated compared with the SDF-1 and EX-4 alone groups. The gene set enrichment analysis indicated that SDF-1 could amplify the role of EX-4 in regulating varied signaling pathways, such as type II diabetes mellitus and insulin signaling pathways; while EX-4 could aggravate the effect of SDF-1 on PDLSCs biological roles
