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

Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are derived from periodontal tissue and can differentiate into osteoblasts, which are ideal materials for alveolar bone repair and periodontal tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) on the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of PDLSCs and its underlying mechanism. hPDLSC proliferation was detected by CCK-8 and EdU assays. The osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs was clarified using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity detection and Alizarin red S (ARS) staining. The expression levels of osteogenic differentiation-related factors, Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway-related factors, YB-1, and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) were evaluated using qPCR and Western blotting. The interplay between YB-1 and FGF2 was clarified using ChIP and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays. YB-1 expression was markedly decreased in periodontitis clinical tissues but increased in hPDLSCs during osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, silencing YB-1 suppressed the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of hPDLSCs. In addition, YB-1 promotes hPDLSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in a manner dependent on the activation of the Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is mediated by FGF2 transcriptional activation. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of YB-1 knockdown on the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of hPDLSCs were antagonized by human recombinant FGF2. Taken together, our findings revealed that YB-1 facilitates hPDLSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through increasing the level of FGF2 via transcriptional regulation, thereby activating the Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway.
