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

Introduction: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) involves complex interactions between mechanical forces and periodontal tissue adaptation, mainly mediated by periodontal ligament cells, including periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter known for its critical role in bone metabolism, is investigated in this study for its potential to enhance osteogenic differentiation in PDLSCs, which are pivotal in OTM. This study examined the potential of DA to facilitate OTM by binding to DA receptors (D1R and D2R) and activating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. We propose that DA's interaction with these receptors on PDLSCs could enhance osteogenic differentiation, thereby accelerating bone remodeling and reducing the duration of orthodontic treatments, which offering a novel approach to improve clinical outcomes in orthodontic care. Methods: This study utilized a rat OTM model, micro-CT, histological analyses, and Results: Dopamine administration significantly increased trabecular bone density and osteogenic marker expression in an OTM rat model. Conclusion: Taken together, our study reveals that local dopamine administration at a concentration of 10 nM not only enhances tension-induced osteogenesis
