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

backgroundThis study examines the effects of combining hyaluronic acid hydrogel (HA) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (iPRF) on the proliferation, migration and odontogenic differentiation of apical papilla stem cells (SCAP). The goal is to enhance regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) with more effective regenerative biomaterials.

methodSCAPs were cultured on HA, both with and without iPRF in a 3D culture system. Also, the effect of iPRF in a 2D culture was assessed. Cell proliferation was evaluated using MTT assay, for analysing cell migration the Transwell Migration assay was utilized. To assess the odontogenic differentiation, the alkaline phosphatase assay was performed, and the gene expression of odontogenic markers including Collagen type I (Col-1), Dentin matrix protein1 (DMP-1), and Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) were examined by real-time Polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

resultsiPRF induced cell proliferation in 2D and HA 3D cultures compared to the control groups. The HA/iPRF mixture showed synergistic effects in odontogenic gene expression and migration assays. However, the iPRF group showed the most alkaline phosphatase expression after 7 days. Cells in a 3D culture system combining HA and iPRF demonstrated enhanced odontogenic differentiation and chemotaxis compared to either component used separately.

conclusionThe combination of HA and iPRF shows promise for future regenerative endodontic applications.
