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

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth may occur after a chronic administration of three classes of systemic drugs: Anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, and calcium channel blockers. This study aimed to investigate how cyclosporin A and mycophenolate mophetil (immunosuppressive drugs) could interfere with human gingival fibroblasts functions, leading to gingival enlargement. Human gingival fibroblasts derived from the tissue of a 60-year-old female were cultured in a DMEME medium. A stock solution with 1 mg/mL of mycophenolate and 1 mg/mL of cyclosporine were prepared and dissolved in a DMEM medium to prepare a serial dilution at the concentrations of 5000, 2000, 1000, 500, and 100 ng/mL, for both treatments. Cell viability was measured using the PrestoBlue™ Reagent Protocol. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed in order to analyze the expression of 57 genes coding for gingival fibroblasts "Extracellular Matrix and Adhesion Molecules". Mycophenolate and cyclosporine had no effect on fibroblast cell viability at 1000 ng/mL. Both the treatments showed similar effects on the expression profiling of treated cells: Downregulation of most extracellular matrix metalloproteases genes (
