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

Senescent cells that accumulate in multiple tissues with age are thought to increase pathological phenotypes. The removal of senescent cells can improve lifespan and/or healthspan in mouse models. Global hypomethylation and local hypermethylation in DNA are hallmarks of aging but it is unclear if such age-dependent methylation changes affect specific genes that regulate cellular senescence. Because mitochondria play important roles in aging and senescence, we tested if age-associated methylation changes in nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins were involved in regulating cellular senescence. Here, we examined the role of hypermethylation of the G-rich sequence factor 1 (GRSF1) promoter region, a mitochondrial RNA binding protein, in replication- and doxorubicin-induced cellular senescence. GRSF1 expression was lower in senescent fibroblasts, and GRSF1 knockdown induced senescence in human primary fibroblasts. These results suggest that the age-dependent hypermethylation of GRSF1 reduces its expression, which can potentially contribute to cellular senescence during aging.
