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

Background: Dental stem cells with neurosphere-forming abilities are a promising cell source for the treatment of neural diseases and injuries. This scoping review aimed to systematically map the existing literature on dental sphere formation assays and their characteristics associated with neural regeneration potential. Methods: The Web of Science, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and PubMed databases were systematically searched for Results: A total of 35 articles (31 Conclusion: Dental stem cell spheres demonstrate significant potential for neural regeneration. Several assays and characterizations have been performed to characterized the mechanisms underlying dental sphere formation. Furthermore,
