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

Stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) are essential for regenerative endodontic treatment. Although mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine are widely used in regenerative endodontic treatment procedures, their effects on SCAP remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of ProRoot MTA and Biodentine on SCAP viability and mineralization in the presence of Enterococcus faecalis under aerobic and anaerobic environments. Stem cells from the apical papilla were isolated from three healthy donors and exposed to three different surface area-to-volume (SA:V) ratio extracts of ProRoot MTA and Biodentine for 21 days in aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Cell viability was assessed using a neutral red cytotoxicity assay, and mineralization was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. No significant differences between ProRoot MTA and Biodentine regarding SCAP viability were detected; however, increased cytotoxicity was found (for both ProRoot MTA and Biodentine) at the highest SA:V ratio of extract used. Oxygen availability, as well as variability in responses of SCAP from the different donors, resulted in greater variation of ALP levels than did type of material. Both ProRoot MTA and Biodentine showed comparable effects on SCAP viability and mineralization, with high SA:V ratios of extracts resulting in increased cytotoxicity. Mineralization in SCAP is influenced by oxygen conditions and the presence of E. faecalis, elucidating the need for further in vivo studies to optimize regenerative endodontic treatment outcomes.
