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

Radiotherapy (RT) remains a primary treatment modality for glioblastoma (GBM), but it induces cellular senescence and is strongly implicated in GBM progression and RT-related injury. Recently, eliminating senescent cells has emerged as a promising strategy for treating cancer and for mitigating radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). Here, we investigated the impact of all-trans retinoic acid (RA) on radiation-induced senescence. The findings of this study revealed that RA effectively eliminated astrocytes, which are particularly prone to senescence after radiation, and that the removal of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factor-producing astrocytes inhibited GBM cell proliferation in vitro. Moreover, RA-mediated clearance of senescent cells improved survival in GBM-bearing mice and alleviated radiation-induced cognitive impairment. Through RNA sequencing, we found that the AKT/mTOR/PPARγ/Plin4 signaling pathway is involved in RA-mediated clearance of senescent cells. In summary, these results suggest that RA could be a potential senolytic drug for preventing GBM progression and improving RBI.
