Does Bach1 & c-Myc dependent redox dysregulation of Nrf2 & adaptive homeostasis decrease cancer risk in ageing?
Review in Free radical biology & medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
The Keap1-Nrf2 signal transduction pathway plays a major role in oxidant and electrophile induction of adaptive homeostasis that transiently and reversibly increases cellular and organismal protection from stress. By expanding (and then contracting) the normal homeostatic range of expression of stress-protective genes, Nrf2 allows us to cope with fluctuations in stress levels. Two major inhibitors of Nrf2 are Bach1 and c-Myc which normally serve the important function of turning off adaptation when appropriate. We have found, however, that both Bach1 and c-Myc levels increase substantially with age and that older human cells, worms, flies, and mice loose Nrf2-dependent signaling and adaptive homeostasis. Nrf2 has also been linked with increased risk of cancers, and cancer incidence certainly increases with age. Here we propose that the age-dependent increase in Bach1 and c-Myc may actually cause the age-dependent decline in Nrf2 signaling and adaptive homeostasis, and that this is a coordinated attempt to minimize the age-dependent increase in cancer incidence. In other words, we may trade off adaptive homeostasis for a lower risk of cancer by increasing Bach1 and c-Myc in ageing.
