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

This study aims to develop a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based ginsenoside Rb3 (G-Rb3) drug delivery system and investigate its application in the treatment of periodontitis and the underlying mechanisms. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) were obtained and identified. The appropriate concentration ranges of G-Rb3 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated by the CCK-8 experiments. Quantitative RT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot were performed to assess the effects of GelMA@G-Rb3 on LPS-treated PDLSCs. The possible mechanisms were determined through network pharmacology analysis and Western blot. The therapeutic effects of GelMA@G-Rb3 in rat periodontitis animal models were systematically evaluated using Micro-CT, H&E staining, Masson staining, and immunofluorescence staining. PDLSCs were successfully isolated and characterized. The in vitro results indicated that GelMA@G-Rb3 significantly alleviated LPS-induced inflammation in PDLSCs by inhibiting the p38/ERK signaling pathway and activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. In vivo experiments confirmed that GelMA@G-Rb3 significantly reduced alveolar bone resorption, and promoted periodontal tissue regeneration, while simultaneously demonstrating significant regulatory effects on the MAPK signaling pathway. This study demonstrated the efficacy of the GelMA@G-Rb3 system in modulating the inflammatory responses of periodontitis and improving the periodontal tissue regeneration, which establish a solid foundation and proposed innovative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of periodontitis.
