Multiple pathways promote microtubule stabilization in senescent intestinal epithelial cells.
Article in npj aging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Intestinal epithelial cells are critical for gastrointestinal homeostasis. However, their function declines during aging. The aging-related loss of organ performance is largely driven by the increase in senescent cells. To date, the hallmarks and molecular mechanisms related to cellular senescence are not fully understood. Microtubules control epithelial functions, and we identified microtubule stabilization as a phenotypic marker of senescent intestinal epithelial cells. The senescence inducer determined the pathway to microtubule stabilization. Specifically, enhanced microtubule stability was associated with α-tubulin hyperacetylation or increased abundance of the microtubule-binding protein tau. We show further that overexpression of MAPT, which encodes tau, augmented microtubule stability in intestinal epithelial cells. Notably, pharmacological microtubule stabilization was sufficient to induce cellular senescence. Taken together, this study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms that control epithelial cell homeostasis. Our results support the concept that microtubule stability serves as a critical cue to trigger intestinal epithelial cell senescence.
