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

Objective: The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA)-overexpressing rat dental pulp stem cells (rDPSCs) combined with laminin-coated and yarn-encapsulated poly( Study Design: rDPSCs isolated from rat mandibular central incisor were cultured and identified in vitro and further transfected with the lentiviral vectors (Lv-VEGFA). To investigate the role and mechanisms of VEGFA in neurogenic differentiation in vitro, semaxanib (SU5416), Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blotting were performed. Ten-millimeter facial nerve defect models in rats were established and bridged by LC-YE-PLGA NGCs. The repair effects were detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), compound muscle action potential (CMAP), immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Results: Extracted cells exhibited spindle-shaped morphology, presented typical markers (CD44 Conclusion: VEGFA-modified rDPSCs combined with LC-YE-PLGA NGCs have certain advantages in the growth and functional recovery of facial nerves in rats.
