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

Background/purpose: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is used as an irrigant in regenerative endodontic treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of EDTA on stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) Materials and methods: Human SCAPs were isolated and characterised. The cells were treated with media supplemented with EDTA at concentrations ranging from 1.25% to 17%. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined using MTT assay and annexin V/propidium iodide staining. Cell migration was determined by a scratch assay. Gene expression was evaluated using a real-time polymerase chain reaction. Mineral deposition, a hallmark of osteogenesis Results: Overall, SCAPs exhibited mesenchymal stem cell characteristics. EDTA treatment at 2.50% and 1.25% did not significantly exhibit cytotoxicity and alter cell morphology. However, EDTA attenuated cell proliferation and reduced Conclusion: EDTA treatment exhibits adverse effects on SCAPs
