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
Background/purpose: Retinopathy affects millions worldwide with increasing prevalence. Dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), primarily originating from the neural crest, possess unique neural-like properties, including high expression of neural markers, making them promising candidates for neural and retinal regenerative medicine. The present study compared two isolation methods for dental-derived MSCs and investigated the potential of dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) to differentiate into neurons and retinal progenitor cells under defined conditions. Materials and methods: The cells of extracted dental tissues were isolated by enzymatic digestion and explant culture methods. The multi-lineage differentiation capabilities of DFSCs were confirmed by Alizarin Red staining and Oil Red-O staining after defined culture stimulation. The differentiation of neurons and retinal progenitors was induced in DFSCs and confirmed through cell morphology, immunofluorescence staining, and western blotting. Results: The enzymatic digestion method was faster and promoted quicker proliferation of DFSCs compared to other dental sources. The expression of Alizarin Red staining and Oil Red-O staining confirmed the multi-lineage differentiation capabilities of DFSCs. Under specific conditions, DFSCs demonstrated the potential to differentiate into neural, retinal progenitor, ganglion, bipolar, amacrine, and Müller-like cells with morphologic changes and expression of related proteins. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates the superior proliferation ability of DFSCs among dental cells, and possesses the potential to differentiate into retinal progenitor cells and neurons under defined conditions. Provide valuable insights into DFSCs as an effective stem cell source and their potential for future therapeutic applications in retinal-related diseases.
