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

Human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs) exposed to subcytotoxic stresses under H2O2, tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP), and ethanol (EtOH) undergo stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) characterized by many biomarkers of HDFs replicative senescence. Among these biomarkers are a growth arrest, an increase in the senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, a senescent morphology, an overexpression of p21waf-1 and the subsequent inability to phosphorylate pRb, the presence of the common 4977-bp mitochondrial deletion, and an increase in the steady-state level of several senescence-associated genes such as apolipoprotein J (apo J). Apo J has been described as a survival gene against cytotoxic stress. In order to study whether apo J would be protective against cytotoxicity SIPS and replicative senescence in human fibroblasts, a full-length complementary deoxyribonucleic acid of apo J was transfected into WI-38 HDFs and SV40-transformed WI-38 HDFs. The overexpression of apo J resulted in an increased cell survival after t-BHP and EtOH stresses at cytotoxic concentrations. In addition, when WI-38 HDFs were exposed to 5 subcytotoxic stresses with EtOH or t-BHP, in conditions that were previously shown to induce SIPS, a lower induction of 2 biomarkers of SIPS was observed in HDFs overexpressing apo J. No effect of apo J overexpression was observed on the proliferative life span of HDFs, even if apo J overexpression triggered osteonectin (SPARC) overexpression, which was shown to decrease the mitogenic potential of platelet-derived growth factor but not of other common growth-inducing conditions. Apo J senescence-related overexpression is proposed to have antiapoptotic rather than antiproliferative effects.
