GDF15 promotes osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells by activating the TGF-β/SMAD signaling pathway.

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.
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
Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated bone tissue engineering strategies, including human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs), represent an effective therapeutic approach for bone defect repair, particularly in maxillofacial bone defects. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a multifunctional cytokine, plays a critical role in bone tissue formation and remodeling. This study aims to investigate the effects of GDF15 on the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Our findings demonstrate that GDF15 expression and secretion are upregulated during the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. Both
