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

Background: We mainly studied the mechanism by which phenytoin promotes osteogenic differentiation of human jawbone marrow stem cells. Methods: Bone marrow stem cells were extracted from jaw bone tissue debris obtained from 5 subjects undergoing implant restoration. Osteogenic and adipogenic experiments proved cells stemness, and the expression of ALP, RUNX2, and OSX were detected by qPCR and Western blot. High-throughput sequencing was used to extract differentially expressed genes, the network database predicted phenytoin drug targets, GO and KEGG enrichment combined with PPI network diagram to analyze the osteogenesis mechanism. Results: Calcium nodules and lipid droplet formation were observed in osteogenic and adipogenic experiments. The concentration of phenytoin within 100 mg/L does not produce cytotoxicity. The results of PCR and WB indicated that 50 mg/L phenytoin significantly promoted the expression of ALP and RUNX2, and 25 mg/L phenytoin significantly promoted the expression of OSX. The results of network pharmacology suggest that phenytoin promotes bone formation by up-regulating FGFR2, S1PR1, TGFB3, VCAN core proteins and activating PI3K/Akt pathway. Conclusions: Phenytoin activated the PI3K/Akt pathway to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of human jawbone marrow stem cells. https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/t3xstktt93/1.
