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

backgroundAdipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) are multipotent cells implicated in tissue homeostasis. Obesity represents a chronic inflammatory disease associated with metabolic dysfunction and age-related mechanisms, with progressive accumulation of senescent cells and compromised ADSC function. In this study, we aimed to explore mechanisms associated with the inflammatory environment present in obesity in modulating ADSC to a senescent phenotype. We evaluated phenotypic and functional alterations through 18 days of treatment. ADSC were cultivated with a conditioned medium supplemented with a pool of plasma from eutrophic individuals (PE, n = 15) or with obesity (PO, n = 14), and compared to the control.

resultsOur results showed that PO-treated ADSC exhibited decreased proliferative capacity with G2/M cycle arrest and CDKN1A (p21

conclusionsTaken together, our data suggest that the inflammatory environment observed in obesity induces a senescent phenotype associated with p38MAPK/NF-κB axis, which stimulates and amplifies the SASP and is associated with impaired mitochondrial homeostasis.
