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

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising candidates for regenerative therapies due to their self-renewal and differentiation capabilities. Pathological microenvironments expose MSCs to senescence-inducing factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in MSC functional decline and loss of stemness. Oxidative stress leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, a hallmark of senescence, and is prevalent in aging tissues characterized by elevated ROS levels. We hypothesized that overexpression of nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF1), a driver of mitochondrial biogenesis, could metabolically potentiate MSCs and prevent MSC senescence. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) revealed that MSCs transfected with NRF1 messenger RNA (mRNA) exhibited upregulated expression of genes associated with oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), decreased glycolytic markers, and suppression of senescence-related pathways. To test whether NRF1 induction could mitigate stress-induced premature senescence, we exposed MSCs to hydrogen peroxide (H
