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

backgroundStem cells play an important role in the success of regenerative endodontic procedures. They are affected by the presence of medicaments that are used before the induction of bleeding or the creation of a scaffold for endodontic regeneration. This study examines the effects of different intracanal medicaments on the viability and survival of dental pulp stem cells at different doses and over different exposure times.

methodsDental pulp stem cells were cultured from healthy third molar teeth using the long-term explant culture method and characterized using flow cytometry and exposed to different concentrations of calcium hydroxide, doxycycline, potassium iodide, triamcinolone, and glutaraldehyde, each ranging from 0 (control) to 1000 µg/mL. Exposure times were 6, 24, and 48 h. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay, and apoptosis was measured using the Annexin V-binding assay.

resultsAll medicaments significantly reduced cell viability at different concentrations over different exposure times. Calcium hydroxide and triamcinolone favored cell viability at higher concentrations during all exposure times compared to other medicaments. The apoptosis assay showed a significant increase in cell death on exposure to doxycycline, potassium iodide, and glutaraldehyde.

conclusionThe intracanal medicaments examined in our study affected the viability of dental pulp stem cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. They also adversely affected the survival of dental pulp stem cells. Further studies are needed to better understand the effect of prolonged exposure to medicaments according to clinical protocols and their effect on the stemness of dental pulp stem cells.
