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

Cellular senescence is not only associated with ageing but also impacts physiological and pathological processes, such as embryonic development and wound healing. Factors secreted by senescent cells affect their microenvironment and can induce spreading of senescence locally. Acute severe liver disease is associated with hepatocyte senescence and frequently progresses to multi-organ failure. Why the latter occurs is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate senescence development in extrahepatic organs and associated organ dysfunction in response to liver senescence using liver injury models and genetic models of hepatocyte-specific senescence. In patients with severe acute liver failure, we show that the extent of hepatocellular senescence predicts disease outcome, the need for liver transplantation and the occurrence of extrahepatic organ failure. We identify the TGFβ pathway as a critical mediator of systemic spread of senescence and demonstrate that TGFβ inhibition in vivo blocks senescence transmission to other organs, preventing liver senescence induced renal dysfunction. Our results highlight the systemic consequences of organ-specific senescence, which, independent of ageing, contributes to multi-organ dysfunction.
