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

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of cultivated odontoblast to form dentin-like tissue using fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF). Materials and Methods: Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were extracted from 10 human teeth. They were isolated and cultivated in vitro with the use of stem cell markers. The human DPSCs were characterized for trilineage differentiation. They were then differentiated into odontoblasts. The ability of cultivated odontoblasts to form dentin-like tissue was evaluated using FGF and IGF. Results: IGF showed superior ability to form dentin-like tissue as compared to FGF. The addition of FGF showed no significant difference in the formation of dentin-like tissue. A combination of FGF and IGF in odontoblast showed an enhanced ability to form dentin-like tissue. Conclusion: The use of growth factors IGF and FGF with dental stem cells showed a greater potential to form dentin-like tissue. This can profoundly alter the paradigms of conservative vital pulp therapy, which may eventually make it possible to treat dental diseases by regeneration of lost dentine.
