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

Appropriate dental pulp repair is based on effective control of inflammation and involves the regeneration of dental pulp nerves, blood vessels (soft tissue), and dentin (hard tissue). Limited evidence has shown how to modulate the uncertainty due to individual variability in dental pulp repair. NRG1, a cytokine modulating nerve injury and repair, was intricately associated with the outcome of pulp repair. Yet, its mobilization in spontaneous pulp repair had individual variability. The study further explored the role of NRG1 during pulp repair as well as an epigenetic way to modulate NRG1 through histone acetylation to enhance pulp repair. Overexpression of NRG1 exhibited the effects of anti-inflammation and integrated regeneration of soft and hard tissue, by inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-8, and promoting the expressions of DSPP, DMP1 (dentin regeneration), and nestin (nerve regeneration). Moreover, restricted H3K9 and H3K27 acetylation correlated with NRG1 expression in pulp repair both temporally and spatially, showing individual variability as well. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, enhanced H3K9ac and H3K27ac, which dramatically activated NRG1, suppressed pulp inflammation, and facilitated soft and hard tissue regeneration. In summary, targeting histone acetylation with HDAC inhibitors may be an effective approach to promote pulp repair by activating NRG1.
