Secreted Peptidome Profiling of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells-Conditioned Medium During Odontogenic Differentiation.
Article in International dental journal, 2026. 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
INTRODUCTION AND
aimsOdontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) is critical for pulp repair. This study aims to characterise the secretory peptidome of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) during odontogenic differentiation, thereby providing insights into potential dental pulp repair strategies.
methodsWe employed tandem mass tag labelling coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to compare the peptide profiles of undifferentiated and differentiated hDPSCs-conditioned medium (CM), followed by in-depth bioinformatics analysis. A Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was conducted to screen for functional peptides present in the hDPSCs-CM. 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry, transwell migration, alkaline phosphatase activity, and alizarin red S staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analyses were performed to preliminarily investigate the functions of the selected peptide.
resultsA total of 90 peptides were differentially expressed in differentiated hDPSCs-CM compared with undifferentiated hDPSCs-CM. Gene Ontology analysis suggested that the differentially expressed peptides were closely associated with biological processes, including cell proliferation, growth, and reproduction. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis suggested that the precursor proteins of these peptides were significantly enriched in the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, carbon metabolism, and extracellular matrix-receptor interactions. Furthermore, we identified a secreted peptide that promotes the proliferation, migration, and odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs and named it P1DC (peptide 1 derived from CFL1 protein).
conclusionsOur study is the first to identify differentially expressed peptides between undifferentiated and differentiated hDPSCs-CM. Furthermore, we discovered a novel secreted peptide, P1DC, which significantly enhances hDPSC function.
