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

Aging, characterized by accumulation of senescent cells, is a driving factor of various age-related diseases. These conditions pose significant health risks globally due to their increasing prevalence and serious complications. Reduction of senescent cells therefore represents a promising strategy promoting healthy aging. Here we demonstrate that targeting tamoxifen to mitochondria via triphenyl and tricyclohexyl phosphine selectively eliminates senescent cells. Our findings show a complex effect of mitochondrially targeted tamoxifen on mitochondrial function and integrity of senescent cells, including inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation and activity of respiratory complex IV. These changes result in activation of ferroptosis as the major mode of cell death, which results in rejuvenation of tissues. Targeting mitochondria of senescent cells represents a general senolytic strategy and may extend the healthspan and improve the quality of life in aging populations.
