Xanthium strumarium seed extract boosts osteogenesis in human dental pulp stem cell model.
Article in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn traditional medicine, Xanthium strumarium is used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic plant-based medicine. Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs) are an ideal in vitro model for drug and bioactive compound screening. This study assessed the potential of X. strumarium aqueous extract on hDPSCs differentiation towards the osteogenic lineage. MATERIALS AND
methodsHDPSCs were isolated and cultured by explant method and characterized by surface marker expression, Colony Forming units fibroblasts (CFU-F), Population Doubling time (PDT), and tri-lineage differentiation. X. strumarium aqueous seed extract (XSE) was prepared and its cytotoxic effect on hDPSCs was examined by MTT assay. The effect of XSE on hDPSC differentiation into osteocytes was investigated by biochemical staining and gene expression.
resultsThe hDPSCs were positive for CD73, CD90, and CD105 and negative for CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR surface markers. The cells had a colony-forming ability with a PDT of 44.91 h. The hDPSCs differentiated into osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes. The XSE concentration of 15 μg/ml had a significant increase in hDPSC viability. Alizarin Red S staining revealed that XSE treatment enhanced calcium accumulation and matrix mineralization in hDPSCs. XSE treatment also increased osteonectin and IL-6 transcript expression in osteogenesis-induced hDPSCs.
conclusionX. strumarium aqueous extract is a suitable candidate for bone repair because it promotes osteogenic differentiation in hDPSCs. Therefore this could be explored further in the treatment of bone disorders.
