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

Tendon stem/progenitor cell (TSPC) senescence contributes to age-related tendon degeneration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. In present study, we investigated the role of High-Mobility Group A2 (HMGA2) in TSPCs senescence. During the tendon aging, we showed that HMGA2 expression decreases with age. In senescent TSPCs, HMGA2 overexpression significantly delayed TSPCs senescence. Additionally, overexpression of HMGA2 restored the age-related dysfunction of migration, tenogenic differentiation, and mitophagy. HMGA2 also suppressed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), downregulating inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TGF-β. Furthermore, we suggested that the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway is activated in senescent TSPCs, and HMGA2 overexpression could inhibit the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway activation, which demonstrates that HMGA2 might attenuate senescence and age-related dysfunction of TSPCs through the repression of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Our findings collectively indicated the crucial involvement of HMGA2 in TSPCs senescence regulation and suggested a novel target for preventing tendon aging.
