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

DNA damage, caused by various oncogenic stresses, can induce cell death or cellular senescence as an important tumor suppressor mechanism. Senescent cells display the features of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), secreting inflammatory proteins into surrounding tissues, and contributing to various age-related pathologies. In addition to this inflammatory protein secretion, the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is also upregulated in senescent cells. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, we show that DNA damage activates the ceramide synthetic pathway, via the downregulation of sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2) and the upregulation of neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2), leading to an increase in senescence-associated EV (SA-EV) biogenesis. The EV biogenesis pathway, together with the autophagy-mediated degradation pathway, functions to block apoptosis by removing cytoplasmic DNA fragments derived from chromosomal DNA or bacterial infections. Our data suggest that this SA-EV pathway may play a prominent role in cellular homeostasis, particularly in senescent cells. In summary, DNA damage provokes SA-EV release by activating the ceramide pathway to protect cells from excessive inflammatory responses.
