Analysis of circRNAs profile in TNF-α treated DPSC.
Article in BMC oral health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundPulpitis often are characterized as sustained inflammation and impaired pulp self-repair. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to be involved in the development of inflammation, but their influence in pulpitis is still unidentified, which was examined in our research.
methodsIn this study, TNF-α (20 ng/mL) was used to treat DPSCs, then MTS identified cell proliferation. The circRNAs profile in DPSCs with or without TNF-α treatment was evaluated using RNA sequencing and subsequently by bioinformatics analysis. After that, the circular structure was assessed using agarose gel electrophoresis, followed by Sanger sequencing. And the circRNAs expression was ratified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in cell and tissues samples. Additionally, the plausible mechanism of circRNAs was envisaged, and the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA linkage was plotted using Cytoscape.
resultsThe treatment of TNF-α inhibited cell proliferation capabilities in DPSCs, which also made 1195 circRNA expressions undergo significant alterations. Among these changes, 11 circRNAs associated with inflammation were chosen for circular structure verification, and only seven circRNAs (hsa_circ_0001658, hsa_circ_0001978, hsa_circ_0003910, hsa_circ_0004314, hsa_circ_0004417, hsa_circ_0035915, and hsa_circ_0002545) had circular structure. Additionally, five circRNAs expressions (hsa_circ_0001978, hsa_circ_0003910, hsa_circ_0004314, hsa_circ_0004417, and hsa_circ_0035915) had significantly altered between with or without TNF-α treated DPSCs. Furthermore, hsa_circ_0001978 and hsa_circ_0004417 were increased in patients suffering from pulpitis. Furthermore, their ceRNA linkage and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis suggested that these two circRNAs may participate in the inflammation development of pulpitis via mitogen-activated protein kinase and the Wnt signaling pathway.
conclusionThis study revealed that the circRNAs profile was altered in TNF-α treated DPSCs. Also, hsa_circ_0001978 and hsa_circ_0004417 may be involved in the inflammation progress of pulpitis. These outcomes provided the latest information for additional research on pulpitis.
