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

objectiveTo develop electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes incorporating Hydroxyapatite/Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (HAp/MTA) loaded with Resolvin D2 (RvD2) and evaluate its anti-inflammatory potential.

methodElectrospun membranes were fabricated by blending PCL with 10 wt.% HAp/10 wt.% MTA loaded with or without 0.1% RvD2 and were characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, and RvD2 release.

resultsThe field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) showed uniform nanofibers with an average fiber diameter ranging from 300 to 600 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of HAp and MTA in the PCL membranes. The drug release profile displayed a rapid release of RvD2 initially, followed by a sustained release. XTT assay demonstrated the cytocompatibility of the membranes towards the THP-1-derived M1 macrophages and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) co-cultures activated with LPS. The FE-SEM studies proved the favorable cell adhesion behaviour although the membranes being hydrophobic. Cytokine levels in the culture supernatants retrieved from the co-culture treated membranes showed that, of all the membranes, RvD2 incorporated PCLHAp/MTA membranes demonstrated reduced IL-1β and TNF-α production.

conclusionsRvD2 incorporated PCLHAp/MTA membranes demonstrated reduced IL-1β and TNF-α production asserting its anti-inflammotory potential. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This research highlights the immunomodulatory effect of RvD2-loaded PCLHAp/MTA electrospun membranes in reducing inflammation of the dental pulp. This novel method has the potential to transform the treatment of dental pulp inflammation resulting from caries or injury.
