Investigating the Role of Primary Cilia and Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling in Periodontal Ligament Response to Orthodontic Strain In Vivo and In Vitro: A Pilot Study.

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.
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
Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells are crucial for mechanosensation and mechanotransduction within the PDL, yet the role of primary cilia in orthodontic force transmission has not been examined. While bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling significantly influences ciliary function, its effect on cellular responses to mechanical stress has not been investigated. This study aims to investigate whether primary cilia and BMP signaling are involved in the periodontal ligament's response to orthodontic tooth movement and the resultant mechanical strain. To visualize primary cilia, human PDL cells were cultured on glass-bottom dishes for five days, with a subset fixed daily, followed by immunostaining with anti-acetylated α-tubulin and Alexa Fluor 568 and imaging using a fluorescence microscope under 405 nm and 561 nm laser excitation. Human PDL cells were grown on Bioflex
