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

The administration of D‑galactose triggers brain aging by poorly understood mechanisms. It is generally recognized that D‑galactose induces oxidative stress or affects protein modifications via receptors for advanced glycated end products in a variety of species. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the involvement of astrocytes in D‑galactose‑induced brain aging in vitro. We found that D‑galactose treatment significantly suppressed cell viability and induced cellular senescence. In addition, as of the accumulation of senescent cells, we proposed that the senescence‑associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can stimulate age‑related pathologies and chemoresistance in brain. Consistently, senescent astrocytic CRT cells induced by D‑galactose exhibited increases in the levels of IL‑6 and IL‑8 via NF‑κB activation, which are major SASP components and inflammatory cytokines. Conditioned medium prepared from senescent astrocytic CRT cells significantly promoted the viability of brain tumor cells (U373‑MG and N2a). Importantly, conditioned medium greatly suppressed the cytotoxicity of U373‑MG cells induced by temozolomide, and reduced the protein expression levels of neuron marker neuron‑specific class III β‑tubulin, but markedly increased the levels of c‑Myc in N2a cells. Thus, our findings demonstrated that D‑galactose treatment might mimic brain aging, and that D‑galactose could contribute to brain inflammation and tumor progression through inducing the accumulation of senescent‑secretory astrocytes.
