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

Introduction: Methods: HUVECs were infected with Pg, and their lactylome was analyzed using LC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomics. Differentially lactylated sites were identified based on a fold change (FC) of ≥ 1.5 or ≤ 0.67 with a significance level of p < 0.05. Bioinformatics tools, including pathway enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses, were employed to determine the biological significance of the modified proteins. Results: A total of 5,788 Kla sites were identified across 1,881 proteins. Following Pg infection, 487 sites were significantly upregulated and 598 sites were downregulated. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that differentially lactylated proteins are primarily involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport, bacterial invasion, ribosome biogenesis, and DNA repair mechanisms. Network analysis highlighted five highly interconnected clusters regulating translation, RNA processing, and metabolism. Notably, key endothelial structural and regulatory proteins, including AHNAK (160 sites), MYH9 (56 sites), and FLNA (34 sites), exhibited extensive lactylation. Discussion: This study provides the first comprehensive lactylome profile of Pg-infected HUVECs, identifying lysine lactylation as a novel mechanism linking periodontal infection to endothelial dysfunction. These findings offer a new molecular framework for understanding the pathogenesis of periodontitis-associated cardiovascular diseases and suggest potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
