Lidocaine inhibits osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveLidocaine is an amide local anaesthetic commonly used for pain control, however, few studies have investigated the effect of lidocaine on the osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs). The present study aimed to determine the effect of lidocaine on HDPSC viability and osteogenic differentiation.
methodsHDPSCs were incubated with 0, 0.05, 0.2, 0.5, and 1 mM lidocaine for 24, 48 and 72 h, after which, MTT assays were performed. HDPSCs cultured with the above lidocaine concentrations and osteogenic differentiation medium for 7 and 14 days were stained for alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Protein and mRNA levels of relevant osteogenic factors (bone morphogenetic protein-2 [BMP-2] and runt-related transcription factor 2 [RUNX2]) were examined using western blotting and real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, respectively.
resultsLidocaine did not affect the viability of HDPSCs, however, lidocaine reduced ALP activity in HDPSCs. Levels of ALP, BMP-2, and RUNX2 mRNA were reduced with lidocaine, and levels of BMP-2 and RUNX2 proteins were decreased, versus controls.
conclusionsLidocaine inhibits osteogenic differentiation markers in HDPSCs
