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

Nrf2 is a master transcriptional regulator of a number of genes involved in the adaptive response to oxidative stress. Among the genes upregulated by Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has received significant attention, given that the products of HO-1-induced heme catabolism have well established antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This is evidenced in numerous models of inflammatory and autoimmune disease whereby induction of HO-1 expression or administration of tolerable amounts of HO-1 reaction products can ameliorate disease symptoms. Unsurprisingly, Nrf2 and HO-1 are now considered viable drug targets for a number of conditions. In recent years, the term 'inflammaging' has been used to describe the low-grade chronic inflammation observed in aging/aged cells. Increased oxidative stress is also a key factor associated with aging and there is convincing evidence that Nrf2, not only declines with age, but that Nrf2 and HO-1 can reduce cellular senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) which is now considered an underlying driver of age-related inflammatory disease. In this review, we describe the role of oxidative stress in 'inflammaging' and highlight the potential anti-aging properties of the Nrf2-HO-1 system. We also highlight established and newly emerging Nrf2 activators and their therapeutic application in age-related disease.
