Managing Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis by Dental Stem Cell Secretome.
Article in Stem cell reviews and reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The potential therapeutic role of the Dental Pulp Stem Cells Secretome (SECR) in a rat model of experimentally induced Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Osteoarthritis (OA) was evaluated. Proteomic profiling of the human SECR under specific oxygen tension (5% O2) and stimulation with Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) was performed. SECR and respective cell lysates (CL) samples were collected and subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. The identified proteins were analyzed with Bioinformatic tools. The anti-inflammatory properties of SECR were assessed via an in vitro murine macrophages model, and were further validated in vivo, in a rat model of chemically-induced TMJ-OA by weekly recording of the head withdrawal threshold, the food intake, and the weight change, and radiographically and histologically at 4- and 8-weeks post-treatment. SECR analysis revealed the presence of 50 proteins that were enriched and/or statistically significantly upregulated compared to CL, while many of those proteins were involved in pathways related to "extracellular matrix organization" and "immune system". SECR application in vitro led to a significant downregulation on the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (MMP-13, MMP-9, MMP-3 and MCP-1), while maintaining an increased expression of IL-10 and IL-6. SECR application in vivo had a significant positive effect on all the clinical parameters, resulting in improved food intake, weight, and pain suppression. Radiographically, SECR application had a significant positive effect on trabecular bone thickness and bone density compared to the saline-treated group. Histological analysis indicated that SECR administration reduced inflammation, enhanced ECM and subchondral bone repair and regeneration, thus alleviating TMJ degeneration.
