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

aimPolarization of macrophages (Mφ) is a well-controlled axis with considerable consequences in both the pro-inflammatory and resolution phases of inflammation. We aimed to determine if periodontal therapy may instigate M1 to M2 Mφ polarization favoring resolution of inflammation within periodontal tissues.

methodsGingival biopsies were excised from subjects diagnosed with Stage III, Grade B periodontitis before and 4-6 weeks after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Total RNA was isolated and pro- and anti-inflammatory markers associated with Mφ polarization assessed by RT-qPCR. Mice were subject to ligature-induced periodontitis and gingival tissues collected after 8 days in-situ or 10 days after ligature removal and M1 and M2 Mφ markers examined by RT-qPCR and flow cytometry.

resultsIn human samples, improvement in clinical parameters posttherapy correlates with reduced bacterial burden, downregulation in M1 (TNF-α, STAT1, CXCL10, and miR-155), and elevated levels of M2 (STAT6, TGM2, CCL22, and IL-10) Mφ markers. In a murine model of resolution of LIP, we observed reduced levels of M1 Mφ markers cox2, iNOS2, F4/80+CD80+, and F4/80+CD86+ and elevated levels of M2-like Mφ markers tgm2, arg1, F4/80+CD206+ and F4/80+CD163+ corroborated human findings.

conclusionResolution of periodontal inflammation is associated with M1 to M2 Mφ polarization after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Assessment of Mφ markers can provide relevant clinical information on the successful response of periodontal therapy and may be used to target nonresponders.
