Specific cell subclusters of dental pulp stem cells respond to distinct pathogens through the ROS pathway.

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
Introduction: Microbial pathogens invade various human organs, including the oral cavity. Methods: DPSCs were obtained from the impacted third molars of six healthy subjects. Then, cells were mixed and divided into three samples, two of which were stimulated with C.a and S.m, respectively; the third sample was exposed to cell medium only (Ctrl). Single-cell mRNA sequencing analysis of treated DPSCs was performed. Results: DPSCs were composed of four major clusters of which one, DPSC.7, exhibited unique changes compared to those of other subclusters. The DPSC.7 cell percentage of the C.a sample was twice those of the Ctrl and S.m samples. DPSC.7 cells expressed genes associated with the response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) response. DPSC.7 subgroup cells established characteristic aggregation under the stimulation of different pathogens in UMAP. The MAPK/ERK1/2 and NF-κB pathways were up-regulated, Conclusions: Our study analyzed the cellular and molecular properties of DPSCs infected by oral fungi and bacteria with single-cell RNA sequencing. A subcluster of DPSCs responded specifically to infections with different pathogens, activating the MAPK and NF-κB pathways to induce immune responses
