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

Dental enamel, the final product of amelogenesis, is a highly mineralized bioceramic that becomes acellular and non-regenerating after tooth eruption. This paper reviews literature that explores inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport during the process of enamel formation or amelogenesis. Evidence from transcriptomics, immunolocalization, and physiology implicates ameloblast-specific sodium-dependent Pi uptake by type III sodium-phosphate cotransporters SLC20A1 (PiT1) and SLC20A2 (PiT2), and by type IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter SLC34A2 (NaPi-IIb) with stage-specific basal (proximal) or apical (distal) enrichment, and pH-dependent expression. Controlled Pi efflux to the enamel space has been partly attributed to xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor (XPR1) mediated Pi export during maturation-stage amelogenesis. These amelogenesis-specific Pi fluxes operate within a polarized cellular framework in which Ca
