Epigenetic Regulation of Dental Follicle Stem Cells in Odontogenic Regeneration.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs essential for biological functions that control the process of translation of mRNA into protein. The discovery of miRNAs in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), especially in odontogenic tissues and dental follicles, has not been fully characterised. This study focused on characterising dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) in terms of their ability to proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts using qRT-PCR (miR-203, miR-125 and miR-21) and immunohistochemistry (OCT4 and CD133). Dental follicles are essential for tooth eruption as they envelop the enamel organ and dental papilla and control the development and breakdown of the alveolar bone. Dental follicle progenitor cells (DFPCs) are stem cells located in dental follicles that differentiate into several cell types that are essential for tooth development and eruption. We observed that miR-125 was upregulated in fibromyxoid and myxoid tissues during odonto/osteogenic differentiation of hDFPCs (fold change values, respectively, 1.75 ± 0.98 and 2.17 ± 1.03). miR-203 and miR-21 significantly downregulated odonto/osteogenic differentiation in myxoid, fibromyxoid and fibroid tissues (fold change values, respectively: miR-203: 0.57 ± 0.25, 0.38 ± 0.11, 0.21 ± 0.18; miR-21: 0.21 ± 0.14, 0.21 ± 0.13, 0.082 ± 0.14). Ultimately, utilising miRNA signatures in humans as a predictive tool will help us understand the molecular processes involved in DFSCs.
