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

Pulp regeneration is one of the most successful areas in the field of tissue regeneration, despite its current limitations. The biocompatibility of endodontic biomaterials is essential in securing the oral microenvironment and supporting pulp tissue regeneration. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the new light-curable calcium silicate (CS)-containing polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) biocomposites' regulation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) in odontogenic-related regeneration. The CS-containing PEGDA (0 to 30 wt%) biocomposites are applied to endodontics materials to promote their mechanical, bioactive, and biological properties. Firstly, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the incorporation of CS increased the number of covalent bonds in the PEGDA. The diameter tension strength of the CS-containing PEGDA composite was significantly higher than that of normal PEGDA, and a different microstructure was detected on the surface. Samples were analyzed for their surface characteristics and Ca/Si ion-release profiles after soaking in simulated body fluid for different periods of time. The CS30 group presented better hDPSC adhesion and proliferation in comparison with CS0. Higher values of odontogenic-related biomarkers were found in hDPSCs on CS30. Altogether, these results prove the potential of light-curable CS-containing PEGDA composites as part of a 'point-of-care' strategy for application in odontogenesis-related regeneration.
