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 accumulate with aging and at etiological sites of multiple diseases, including those accounting for most morbidity, mortality, and health costs. Senescent cells do not replicate, can release factors that cause tissue dysfunction, and yet remain viable. The discovery of senolytic drugs, agents that selectively eliminate senescent cells, created a new route for alleviating age-related dysfunction and diseases. As anticipated for agents targeting fundamental aging mechanisms that are 'root cause' contributors to multiple disorders, potential applications of senolytics are protean. We review the discovery of senolytics, strategies for translation into clinical application, and promising early signals from clinical trials.
