Combined Effects of Puerarin and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells on Alveolar Bone Preservation and Inflammation Control in Periodontitis Through p38MAPK Modulation.
Article in The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study evaluated the effects of puerarin and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), alone or combined, on p38MAPK activity, alveolar bone preservation, and inflammatory responses in a rat periodontitis (PD) model and in vitro. ADSCs were exposed to various puerarin concentrations to assess cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and p38MAPK-related protein expression. Additional experiments employed anisomycin (a p38 MAPK activator) and Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS (Pg-LPS) to determine whether puerarin attenuates p38MAPK overactivation and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production. In vivo, ligature- and Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced periodontitis rats were randomized to Normal, PD, PD + ADSCs, PD + puerarin, or PD + puerarin + ADSCs groups, and alveolar bone microarchitecture (micro-CT) and periodontal p38MAPK activation and osteogenic/inflammatory proteins (Western blot, ELISA) were assessed.
