Using events collected by the BESIII experiment in 2012, we study the process and observe a significant abrupt change in the slope of the invariant mass distribution at the proton-antiproton () mass threshold. We use two models to characterize the line shape around : one which explicitly incorporates the opening of a decay threshold in the mass spectrum (Flatt'{e} formula), and another which is the coherent sum of two resonant amplitudes. Both fits show almost equally good agreement with data, and suggest the existence of either a broad state around with strong couplings to final states or a narrow state just below the mass threshold. Although we cannot distinguish between the fits, either one supports the existence of a molecule-like state or bound state with greater than significance.
