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

Successful dental pulp regeneration is closely associated with rapid revascularization and angiogenesis, processes driven by the Jagged1(JAG1)/Notch signaling pathway. However, soluble Notch ligands have proven ineffective in activating this pathway. To overcome this limitation, a Notch signaling hydrogel is developed by indirectly immobilizing JAG1, aimed at precisely directing the regeneration of vascularized pulp tissue. This hydrogel displays favorable mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Cultivating dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) on this hydrogel significantly upregulate Notch target genes and key proangiogenic markers expression. Three-dimensional (3D) culture assays demonstrate Notch signaling hydrogels improve effectiveness by facilitating encapsulated cell differentiation, enhancing their paracrine functions, and promoting capillary lumen formation. Furthermore, it effectively communicates with the Wnt signaling pathway, creating an odontoinductive microenvironment for pulp-dentin complex formation. In vivo studies show that short-term transplantation of the Notch signaling hydrogel accelerates angiogenesis, stabilizes capillary-like structures, and improves cell survival. Long-term transplantation further confirms its capability to promote the formation of pulp-like tissues rich in blood vessels and peripheral nerve-like structures. In conclusion, this study introduces a feasible and effective hydrogel tailored to specifically regulate the JAG1/Notch signaling pathway, showing potential in advancing regenerative strategies for dental pulp tissue.
