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

As a hallmark of senescent cells, the derepression of Long Interspersed Elements 1 (LINE1) transcription results in accumulated LINE1 cDNA, which triggers the secretion of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and paracrine senescence in a cGAS-STING pathway-dependent manner. However, transcription factors that govern senescence-associated LINE1 reactivation remain ill-defined. Here, we predict several transcription factors that bind to human LINE1 elements to regulate their transcription by analyzing the conserved binding motifs in the 5'-untranslated regions (UTR) of the commonly upregulated LINE1 elements in different types of senescent cells. Further analysis reveals that PAX5 directly binds to LINE1 5'-UTR and the binding is enhanced in senescent cells. The enrichment of PAX5 at the 5'-UTR promotes cellular senescence and SASP by activating LINE1. We also demonstrate that the longevity gene SIRT6 suppresses PAX5 transcription by directly binding to the PAX5 promoter, and overexpressing PAX5 abrogates the suppressive effect of SIRT6 on stress-dependent cellular senescence. Our work suggests that PAX5 could serve as a potential target for drug development aiming to suppress LINE1 activation and treat senescence-associated diseases.
