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

The study aimed to explore the impact and potential mechanism of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS-PG) on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell behavior. ESCC cells from the Shanghai Cell Bank were used, and TLR4, MYD88, and JNK interference vectors were constructed using adenovirus. The cells were divided into six groups: Control, Model, Model + radiotherapy + LPS-PG, Model + radiotherapy + 3-MA, Model + radiotherapy + LPS-PG + 3-MA, and Model + radiotherapy. Various radiation doses were applied to determine the optimal dose, and a radioresistant ESCC cell model was established and verified. CCK8 assay measured cell proliferation, flow cytometry and Hoechst 33258 assay assessed apoptosis, and acridine orange fluorescence staining tested autophagy. Western blot analyzed the expression of LC3II, ATG7, P62, and p-ULK1. Initially, CCK8 and acridine orange fluorescence staining identified optimal LPS-PG intervention conditions. Results revealed that 10 ng/ml LPS-PG for 12 h was optimal. LPS-PG increased autophagy activity, while 3-MA decreased it. LPS-PG + 3-MA group exhibited reduced autophagy. LPS-PG promoted proliferation and autophagy, inhibiting apoptosis in radioresistant ESCCs. LPS-PG regulated TLR4/MYD88/JNK pathway, enhancing ESCC autophagy, proliferation, and radioresistance. In conclusion, LPS-PG, through the TLR4/MYD88/JNK pathway, promotes ESCC proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, and enhances radioresistance by inducing autophagy.
