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

Maintaining the vitality of inflamed or exposed pulp is critical for long-term tooth preservation in clinical dentistry. Vital pulp therapy (VPT), achieved by placing bioactive materials over the exposed pulp tissue, aims to preserve pulp function and stimulate dentin-pulp healing. However, effective regeneration requires biomaterials capable of orchestrating early inflammatory resolution, immune modulation and coordinated angiogenic-odontogenic responses. Here, we engineered an injectable porcine-derived decellularized dental pulp matrix (pDPM) hydrogel with intrinsic immunomodulatory properties to promote vascularized dental pulp regeneration. The pDPM retained abundant pulp-specific extracellular matrix components and bioactive factors while displaying excellent biocompatibility.
