Are immunosenescent T cells really senescent?
Review in Aging cell, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Loss of proper T-cell functioning is a feature of aging that increases the risk of developing chronic diseases. In aged individuals, highly differentiated T cells arise with a reduced expression of CD28 and CD27 and an increased expression of KLRG-1 or CD57. These cells are often referred to as immunosenescent T cells but may still be highly active and contribute to autoimmunity. Another population of T cells known as exhausted T cells arises after chronic antigen stimulation and loses its effector functions, leading to a failure to combat malignancies and viral infections. A process called cellular senescence also increases during aging, and targeting this process has proven to be fruitful against a range of age-related pathologies in animal models. Cellular senescence occurs in cells that are irreparably damaged, limiting their proliferation and typically leading to chronic secretion of pro-inflammatory factors. To develop therapies against pathologies caused by defective T-cell function, it is important to understand the differences and similarities between immunosenescence and cellular senescence. Here, we review the hallmarks of cellular senescence versus senescent and exhausted T cells and provide considerations for the development of specific therapies against age-related diseases.
