Zymography as a Tool for Exploring Protease Activity in Dental Research.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The presence and activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins (CCs) in dentin significantly affect the progress of carious and erosive lesions into dentin, as well as the durability and integrity of dental restorations. Understanding the mechanisms involved on this proteolytic activity could therefore provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of these conditions and inform the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of zymographic techniques applied in dental research, with a focus on the sample's preparation and different measurements of the enzymatic activity through substrate hydrolysis. Standard zymography assays using dentin as a substrate to evaluate the gelatinolytic activity of metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine cathepsins (CCs) are presented, including gel zymography, in situ zymography using fluorescent gelatin-substrate, and reverse zymography for investigating proteolytic activity in dentin.
