Reference gene validation for the relative quantification of cannabinoid receptor expression in human odontoblasts via quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

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.
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
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify and validate the reference genes in cultured human odontoblasts to quantify their cannabinoid receptor transcripts. Methods: The most stably transcribed genes in cultured human odontoblast cells were identified using the RefGenes tool and were selected for real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Human odontoblast cells were differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells using a transforming growth factor-β-supplemented differentiation medium, and total RNA was purified. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and relative quantification analyses were performed using the Schefe's method. The relative expression dataset was analyzed to select the most stable genes. Results: The analysis showed that the transcripts of cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 2 subunit, LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 beta, and family with sequence similarity 223 member B presented the lowest standard deviation (SD) in expression (SD: 0.2, 0.17, and 0.16, respectively). These genes showed similar expression levels as the target genes (cannabinoid receptors). Significant differences were found in the relative expression levels of cannabinoid receptors using the selected genes compared to those calculated using beta actin transcripts as references (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The strategy reported here for searching and verifying new reference genes will aid in the accurate and reliable expression of cannabinoid receptors in human odontoblast cells.
