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

A functional vascular network requires that blood vessels are invested by mural cells. We have shown that dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) can undergo vasculogenic differentiation, and that the resulting vessels anastomize with the host vasculature and become functional (blood carrying) vessels. However, the mechanisms underlying the maturation of DPSC-derived blood vessels remains unclear. Here, we performed a series of studies to understand the process of mural cell investment of blood vessels generated upon vasculogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells. Primary human DPSC were co-cultured with primary human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMC) in 3D gels in presence of vasculogenic differentiation medium. We observed DPSC capillary sprout formation and SMC recruitment, alignment and remodeling that resulted in complex vascular networks. While HUASMC enhanced the number of capillary sprouts and stabilized the capillary network when co-cultured with DPSC, HUASMC by themselves were unable to form capillary sprouts.
