WDR36 inhibits the osteogenic differentiation and migration of periodontal ligament stem cells.
Article in World journal of stem cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPeriodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by the host's immune response and various interactions between pathogens, which lead to the loss of connective tissue and bone. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cell (SC) transplantation technology has become a research hotspot, which can form periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone through proliferation and differentiation.
aimTo elucidate the regulatory effects of WD repeat-containing protein 36 (WDR36) on the senescence, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament SCs (PDLSCs).
methodsThe migration and chemotaxis of PDLSCs were detected by the scratch-wound migration test and transwell chemotaxis test. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin red staining, calcium content, and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of key transcription factors were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation function of PDLSCs. Cell senescence was determined by senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining.
resultsThe 24-hour and 48-hour scratch-wound migration test and 48-hour transwell chemotaxis test showed that overexpression of WDR36 inhibited the migration/chemotaxis of PDLSCs. Simultaneously, WDR36 depletion promoted the migration/chemotaxis of PDLSCs. The results of ALP activity, Alizarin red staining, calcium content, and RT-qPCR showed that overexpression of WDR36 inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs, and WDR36 depletion promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining showed that 0.1 μg/mL icariin (ICA) and overexpression of WDR36 inhibited the senescence of PDLSCs, and WDR36 depletion promoted the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs.
conclusionWDR36 inhibits the migration and chemotaxis, osteogenic differentiation, and senescence of PDLSCs; 0.1 μg/mL ICA inhibits the senescence of PDLSCs. Therefore, WDR36 might serve as a target for periodontal tissue regeneration and the treatment of periodontitis.
