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

objectiveTo determine senescence-associated changes in the gingival tissues of aged mice and gingival fibroblast cultures. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe production of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) and mRNA expression of p16, p21, interleukin (IL)-1β, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were evaluated in gingival tissues, gingival fibroblasts of 10- and 20-month-old C57BL/6NCrl mice, and multiple-passaged and hydrogen peroxide-stimulated human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Changes in molecular expression in HGF cultures due to senescent cell elimination by the senolytic drug ABT-263 (Navitoclax) were analyzed.

resultsCompared to 10-week-old mice, the 20-month-old mice had higher numbers of M1 macrophages. The proportion of cells expressing SA-β-gal were also higher in 20- month-old mice than in 10-week-old-mice. Gingival fibroblasts in 20-month-old mice expressed less collagen 1a1, collagen 4a1, and collagen 4a2 mRNA than those in 10-week-old mice. Compared to control cells, H2O2 treated HGF cells expressed higher levels of SA-β-gal and p16, p21, IL-1β, and TNF-α. Furthermore, ABT-263 suppressed HGF cell expression of cytokines after senescence induction.

conclusionsSenescence-associated changes were observed in the gingival tissues of aged mice and HGF cultures. In addition, the potential of senolytic drugs to modify aging-related changes in the gingiva was shown.
