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

The skeletal system consists of bones and teeth, both of which are hardened via mineralization to support daily physical activity and mastication. The precise mechanism for this process, especially how blood vessels contribute to tissue mineralization, remains incompletely understood. Here, we established an imaging technique to visualize the 3D structure of the tooth vasculature at a single-cell level. Using this technique combined with single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified a unique endothelial subtype specialized to dentinogenesis, a process of tooth mineralization, termed periodontal tip-like endothelial cells. These capillaries exhibit high angiogenic activity and plasticity under the control of odontoblasts; in turn, the capillaries trigger odontoblast maturation. Metabolomic analysis demonstrated that the capillaries perform the phosphate delivery required for dentinogenesis. Taken together, our data identified the fundamental cell-to-cell communications that orchestrate tooth formation, angiogenic-odontogenic coupling, a distinct mechanism compared to the angiogenic-osteogenic coupling in bones. This mechanism contributes to our understanding concerning the functional diversity of organotypic vasculature.
