Fig. 2From: MicroRNA-223 negatively regulates the osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament derived cells by directly targeting growth factor receptorsThe expression of miR-223 in the inflamed gingival tissues. A RT-qPCR quantification of miR-223 expression in gingival tissue samples. B The correlations of miR-223 expression with clinical periodontal indexes. C–G Correlation scatter plots between miR-223 expression and plaque index (C), gingival index (D), bleeding index (D), probing depth (F) and attachment level (G). H The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of miR-223 in periodontitis. Model 1, the correlation analysis based on all subjects, including periodontitis patients and control subjects. Model 2, the correlation analysis based on periodontitis patientsBack to article page
