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

Dental pulp tissue engineering is a promising alternative treatment for pulpitis and periapical periodontitis, and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are considered to be the gold standard for dental seed cell research. Periapical lesions harbor mesenchymal stem cells with the capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. However, it remains unknown whether these periapical lesion-derived stem cells (PLDSCs) are suitable for dental pulp tissue engineering. To investigate this possibility, PLDSCs and DPSCs were isolated using the tissue outgrowth method and cultured under identical conditions. We then performed in vitro experiments to investigate their biological characteristics. Our results indicate that PLDSCs proliferate actively in vitro and exhibit similar morphology, immunophenotype and multilineage differentiation ability as DPSCs. Simultaneously, PLDSCs exhibit stronger migrative ability and express more vascular endothelial growth factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor than DPSCs, and PLDSC-derived conditioned medium was more effective in tube formation assay. The mRNA expression levels of immunomodulatory genes HLA-G, IDO and ICAM-1 were also higher in PLDSCs. However, regarding osteo/odontogenic differentiation, PLDSCs showed weaker alkaline phosphatase staining and lower calcified nodule formation compared to DPSCs, as well as lower expression of ALP, RUNX2 and DSPP, as confirmed by a quantitative RT-PCR. The osteo/odontogenic protein expression levels of DSPP, RUNX2, DMP1 and SP7 were also higher in DPSCs. The present study demonstrates that PLDSCs demonstrate potential use as seed cells for dental pulp regeneration, especially for achieving enhanced neurovascularization.
