Senescence Biomarkers and Trajectories of Frailty and Physical Function After Kidney Transplantation.
Article in Clinical transplantation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 a biological mechanism of aging and age-related diseases. The aim of this study was to examine whether senescence biomarkers are associated with frailty and physical function trajectories in patients undergoing kidney transplantation (KT). We also discussed the relationship between senescence biomarkers and KT function. In this multicenter study, we prospectively assessed plasma levels of senescence biomarkers, frailty as measured by the Physical Frailty Phenotype, and physical function as measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery prior to KT. Frailty, physical function, and KT function were also measured 1 year after KT. Variable associations were assessed using Cox and relaxed least absolute shrinkage and selection operation regression. The cohort consisted of 197 participants (mean age 53 ± 13 years, 61.4% male, and 80.2% White race). Higher pre-KT levels of macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CCL22) and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) were independently associated with less improvement in frailty and/or physical function during the first year after KT. Higher pre-KT levels tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6 (FAS) and MMP-9 levels were independently associated with lower KT function one year after KT. Pre-KT cellular senescence may contribute to frailty, physical function, and kidney function trajectories during the first year after KT.
