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: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by progressive destruction of periodontal tissues, including alveolar bone. Although various regenerative approaches have been explored, effective and clinically applicable strategies for periodontal regeneration remain limited. Conditioned culture media (CM) derived from mesenchymal stem cells contains diverse paracrine factors, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), proteins, and soluble molecules that contribute to tissue repair and immunomodulation. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and therapeutic potential of freeze-dried dental pulp stem cell-derived CM as a cell-free treatment for periodontitis using in vivo and histological analyses. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the safety and therapeutic potential of freeze-dried CM derived from cultured human dental pulp stem cells. Systemic and local toxicity were assessed in mice following intravenous and gingival administration. Therapeutic efficacy was investigated using a ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model. Alveolar bone morphology and osteoclast activity were analyzed using micro-computed tomography and histological staining. In addition, comparative proteomic analyses were performed between CM and purified EV fractions to explore molecular characteristics associated with tissue regeneration. Results: Administration of freeze-dried CM showed no significant systemic or local toxicity in mice. In the experimental periodontitis model, CM treatment reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, suppressed osteoclast activity, and improved alveolar bone surface morphology. Although crestal bone height recovery was not observed, CM promoted periosteal activation and surface-oriented bone remodeling. Proteomic analyses revealed that CM retained molecular signatures related to inflammation regulation and tissue repair, while EV fractions were enriched in pathways associated with tissue remodeling and angiogenesis. Conclusions: Freeze-dried dental pulp stem cell-derived CM demonstrates favorable safety and promotes periodontal tissue repair through immunomodulatory and regenerative mechanisms. These findings highlight CM as a practical and scalable cell-free therapeutic strategy for periodontal regeneration.
