The Reparative Function of MMP13 in Tertiary Reactionary Dentinogenesis after Tooth Injury.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
MMP13 gene expression increases up to 2000-fold in mineralizing dental pulp cells (DPCs), with research previously demonstrating that global MMP13 deletion resulted in critical alterations in the dentine phenotype, affecting dentine-tubule regularity, the odontoblast palisade, and significantly reducing the dentine volume. Global MMP13-KO and wild-type mice of a range of ages had their molar teeth injured to stimulate reactionary tertiary dentinogenesis. The response was measured qualitatively and quantitatively using histology, immunohistochemistry, micro-CT, and qRT-PCR in order to assess changes in the nature and volume of dentine deposited as well as mechanistic links. MMP13 loss affected the reactionary tertiary dentine quality and volume after cuspal injury and reduced Nestin expression in a non-exposure injury model, as well as mechanistic links between MMP13 and the Wnt-responsive gene Axin2. Acute pulpal injury and pulp exposure to oral fluids in mice teeth showed upregulation of the MMP13 in vivo, with an increase in the gene expression of
