Can Glycerol Be Used as an Effective Alternative Storage Medium for Avulsed Teeth Before Replantation?
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction For successful replantation of avulsed teeth, preserving the vitality of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells of the avulsed tooth is important. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usage of glycerol by comparing its different concentrations with the gold standard medium, i.e., Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS). Glycerol is a cryoprotective agent used in many cell preservation studies, but has never been used earlier as a storage medium for avulsed human teeth. Methods PDL cells were obtained from healthy human teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes from children aged eight to 15 years old and cultured in minimum essential medium (MEM). The cultures were exposed for one, six, 12, and 24 hours to various experimental solutions at 37°C. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test. Results The mean viability of HBSS was the highest amongst the three experimental solutions, followed by diluted 10% glycerol, and least in pure glycerol. Conclusion Preparation of 10% glycerol was effective as a short-term storage medium. We recommend the formulation of various concentrations of glycerol and determining its clinical effectiveness.
