Curcumin Inhibits TORC1 and Prolongs the Lifespan of Cells with Mitochondrial Dysfunction.
Article in Cells, 2024. 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
Aging is an inevitable biological process that contributes to the onset of age-related diseases, often as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction. Understanding the mechanisms behind aging is crucial for developing therapeutic interventions. This study investigates the effects of curcumin on postmitotic cellular lifespan (PoMiCL) during chronological aging in yeast, a widely used model for human postmitotic cellular aging. Our findings reveal that curcumin significantly prolongs the PoMiCL of wildtype yeast cells, with the most pronounced effects observed at lower concentrations, indicating a hormetic response. Importantly, curcumin also extends the lifespan of postmitotic cells with mitochondrial deficiencies, although the hormetic effect is absent in these defective cells. Mechanistically, curcumin inhibits TORC1 activity, enhances ATP levels, and induces oxidative stress. These results suggest that curcumin has the potential to modulate aging and offer therapeutic insights into age-related diseases, highlighting the importance of context in its effects.
