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

objectivesThe treatment of bone defects by stem cells (MSCs) has achieved limited success over the recent few decades. The emergence of exosomes provides a new strategy for bone regeneration. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect and mechanisms of exosomes combined with dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on bone regeneration. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe isolated exosomes from stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) aggregates and evaluated the efficacy of exosomes combined with DPSCs in a cranial bone defect model. The potential mechanisms were further investigated.

resultsThe effect of exosomes combined with DPSCs was remarkable on bone regeneration in vivo and exosomes promoted osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs in vitro. Mechanistically, exosomes increased the expression of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in DPSCs by transferring TFAM mRNA. Moreover, highly expressed TFAM in DPSCs enhanced glutamate metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity.

conclusionsConsequently, exosomes strengthened bone regeneration of DPSCs through the activation of mitochondrial aerobic metabolism. Our study provides a new potential strategy to improve DPSC-based bone regenerative treatment.
