Obesity Modifies the Proteomic Profile of the Periodontal Ligament.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to assess the obesity effects on the proteomic profile of the periodontal ligament of rats submitted to obesity induction by a high-fat diet. Eight Holtzman rats were divided into control (n = 3) and obese (n = 5) groups. The maxillae were histologically processed for laser capture microdissection of the periodontal ligament of the first maxillary molars. Peptide mixtures were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. A total of 1379 proteins were identified in all groups. Among them, 335 (24.30%) were exclusively detected in the obese group, while 129 (9.35%) proteins were uniquely found in the control group. Out of the 110 (7.98%) differentially abundant proteins, 10 were more abundant and 100 had decreased abundance in the obese group. A gene ontology analysis showed some proteins related to obesity in the “extracellular exosome” term among differentially identified proteins in the gene ontology cellular component terms Prelp, Sec13, and Sod2. These three proteins were upregulated in the obese group (p < 0.05), as shown by proteomic and immunohistochemistry analyses. In summary, our study presents novel evidence that the proteomic profile of the periodontal ligament is altered in experimental obesity induction, providing a list of differentially abundant proteins associated with obesity, which indicates that the periodontal ligament is responsive to obesity.
