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

In an aging population, intense interest has shifted toward prolonging health span. Mounting evidence suggests that cellular reactive species are propagators of cell damage, inflammation, and cellular senescence. Thus, such species have emerged as putative provocateurs and targets for senolysis, and a clearer understanding of their molecular origin and regulation is of paramount importance. In an inquiry into signaling triggered by aging and proxy instigator, hyperglycemia, we show that NADPH Oxidase (NOX) drives cell DNA damage and alters nuclear envelope integrity, inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and cellular senescence in mice and humans with similar causality. Most notably, selective NOX1 inhibition rescues age-impaired blood flow and angiogenesis, vasodilation, and the endothelial cell wound response. Indeed, NOX1i delivery in vivo completely reversed age-impaired hind-limb blood flow and angiogenesis while disrupting a NOX1-IL-6 senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) proinflammatory signaling loop. Relevant to its comorbidity with age, clinical samples from diabetic versus nondiabetic subjects reveal as operant this NOX1-mediated vascular senescence and inflammation in humans. On a mechanistic level, our findings support a previously unidentified role for IL-6 in this feedforward inflammatory loop and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) down-regulation as inversely modulating p65-mediated NOX1 transcription. Targeting this previously unidentified NOX1-SASP signaling axis in aging is predicted to be an effective strategy for mitigating senescence in the vasculature and other organ systems.
