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

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is regarded as the main pathogenic factor of periodontitis. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play a key role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. This study investigated the effects of sEVs derived from periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) pretreated with LPS on macrophage polarization and the underlying mechanisms. PDLSCs were treated with LPS (1 µg/mL) for 24 h, and sEVs were harvested by gradient centrifugation method. Macrophages were incubated with sEVs for 24 h, followed by examination of the expression profiles of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and polarization markers. Furthermore, microarray analysis, western blot test, and microRNA inhibitor transfection experiments were used to elucidate the molecular signaling pathway responsible for the process. The results showed that sEVs derived from LPS-preconditioning PDLSCs could significantly increase the expression of M1 markers and inflammatory cytokines, whereas decreased the expression of M2 markers and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistic analysis showed that TLR2/TLR4/NF-κB p65 pathway was involved in M1 polarization of macrophages, and microRNA-433-3p played a role, at least in part, in the course. Collectively, LPS could promote the macrophages into M1 status via TLR2/TLR4/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway partly by sEV-mediated microRNA-433-3p, which could be a potential therapeutic target for periodontitis.
