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

introductionDecreased periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) stemness is a key factor in age-related alveolar bone loss. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is closely related to age-related diseases and the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) stemness. However, the role of ER stress in regulating the stemness of senescent PDLSCs and its potential mechanism remain unclear.

objectivesTo investigate the detailed effect and mechanism of ER stress on impaired stemness in old periodontal ligament stem cells (OPDLSCs).

methodsThe level of ER stress of Young PDLSCs (YPDLSCs) and OPDLSCs were detected, and ER stress was regulated to observe its effect on PDLSCs stemness. The expression levels of ER stress sensors (protein kinase R-like ER kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), inositol requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)) were upregulated in YPDLSCs and downregulated in OPDLSCs by transfection experiments to verify the detailed unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway. Mechanismly, the regulatory effect of UPR pathway on p53/p21 pathway was explored. Further study was performed to investigated the important role of progerin accumulation during aging process on ER stress, UPR and p53/p21 pathway.

resultsDecreased stemness and ER stress activation were found in OPDLSCs. ER stress activation resulted in decreased stemness of YPDLSCs, while ER stress inhibition rescued compromised stemness of OPDLSCs. Mechanismly, ATF6 pathway regulated the OPDLSC stemness via the p53/p21 signaling as confirmed by transfection assay. Further study showed that progerin was accumulated in PDLSCs and progerin overexpression could resulted in ER stress activation, activating the ATF6/p53/p21 axis, leading to decreased stemness of aging PDLSCs.

conclusionsProgerin accumulation during the aging process can lead to ER stress activation, which can suppress OPDLSC stemness via the ATF6/p53/p21 axis.
