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

Sirtuin enzymes are deeply associated with senescence and aging. Sirtuin proteins are tightly regulated, but how their levels are governed during aging and how they elicit tissue-specific cellular changes are unclear. Here, we demonstrate that SIRT7 undergoes proteasomal degradation during senescence via targeting by the E3 ligase TRIP12. We identified the transcription factor nuclear casein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase substrate 1 (NUCKS1) as an interactor of SIRT7 and found NUCKS1 recruitment onto chromatin during senescence mediated by SIRT7 loss, correlating with increased NUCKS1 acetylation. NUCKS1 depletion delayed senescence, leading to reduced inflammatory gene expression associated with transcription factors RELA and CEBPβ. In Sirt7 knockout and aged mouse livers, NUCKS1 was bound at the promoters and enhancers of age-related genes, and these regulatory regions gained accessibility during aging. Overall, our results uncover NUCKS1 as an interactor of SIRT7 and indicate that proteasomal loss of SIRT7 during senescence and liver aging promotes NUCKS1 acetylation and chromatin binding to induce metabolic and inflammatory genes.
