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

Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest that can be induced by a variety of potentially oncogenic stimuli, including DNA damage. Hence, senescence has long been considered to suppress tumorigenesis, acting as a guardian of homeostasis. However, recent studies have revealed that senescent cells exhibit the secretion of a series of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and matrix remodeling factors that alter the local tissue environment and contribute to chronic inflammation and cancer. This senescence phenotype is termed as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and is observed not only in cultured cells in vitro but also in vivo. Recently, the physiological and pathological roles of SASP have been increasingly clarified. Notably, several studies have reported that the intrinsic mechanism of SASP factor production is predominantly mediated through the activation of the cGAS-STING (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes) pathway by aberrantly accumulated DNA fragments from the nucleus of senescent cells. In contrast, various extrinsic triggers of SASP also exist in vivo, for example, the SASP induction in hepatic stellate cells in the tumor microenvironment of obesity-associated liver cancer by the translocated gut microbial metabolites. Recently, the strategy for the elimination of senescent cells (senolysis) has attracted increasing attention. Thus, the role of SASP and the effects and outcomes of senolysis in vivo will be also discussed in this review.
