Spatial Regulation of Preameloblast Development in Response to Distal Mouse Incisor Injury.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 2026. 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
Enamel, the outermost mineralized tissue of the tooth, is produced by specialized dental epithelial cells called ameloblasts. Unlike human enamel, which lacks regenerative capacity, the mouse incisor grows throughout life, driven by adult stem cells residing in the labial cervical loop (LaCl). To maintain tissue homeostasis, dental epithelial stem cells produce transit-amplifying cells (TACs) that commit to preameloblasts (PABs), migrate distally, and differentiate into enamel-forming ameloblasts. The full dental epithelial differentiation trajectory coexists within a single mouse incisor, making it an accessible model for studying adult tissue repair and regeneration. We have shown that the genome organizer SATB1 is enriched in PABs and is required for their differentiation into ameloblasts. Here, we investigated the injury response of PABs following mouse incisor tip trimming. Injured wild-type (wt) incisors exhibited an expanded PAB zone with intensive proliferation, reduced SATB1 in the ameloblast lineage, associated with a spatial delay in the deposition of the dentin/enamel matrix compared to uninjured controls. Trimming of Satb1 cKO mouse incisor failed to elicit this response, highlighting SATB1's role in PAB's response to injury. Compared with wt controls, injured wt incisors and both Satb1 cKO groups showed increased Ki67 immunoreactivity in LaCl mesenchymal and epithelial compartments, along with reduced Col1a1 expression in PAB microenvironment. In vitro, SATB1-transduced ameloblast lineage cells (ALCs) cultured on increasing concentrations of type I collagen exhibited reduced Ki67 but elevated Amelx/Ambn expression. There findings indicate that SATB1 is required for epithelial TACs to exit the cell cycle and transition toward PABs. Incisor tip injury delays PAB differentiation by stimulating LaCL mesenchymal proliferation and altering ECM remodeling within the PAB niche.
