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

To understand heart aging at the single-cell level, we employed single-cell dual omics (scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq) in profiling non-myocytes (non-CMs) from young, middle-aged, and elderly mice. Non-CMs, vital in heart development, physiology, and pathology, are understudied compared to cardiomyocytes. Our analysis revealed aging response heterogeneity and its dynamics over time. Immune cells, notably macrophages and neutrophils, showed significant aging alterations, while endothelial cells displayed moderate changes. We identified distinct aging signatures within the cell type, including differential gene expression, transcription factor activity, and motif variation. Sub-cluster analysis revealed intra-cell type heterogeneity, characterized by diverse aging patterns. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype emerged as a key aging-related phenotype. Moreover, aging significantly influenced cell-cell communication, especially impacting a fibroblast sub-cluster with high expression of ERBB4. This study elucidates the complex cellular and molecular landscape of cardiac aging and offers guidance for potential therapeutic avenues to treat aging-related heart diseases.
