New Insights into the Role of Cellular Senescence and Its Therapeutic Implications in Ocular Diseases.
Review in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The process of aging exerts profound effects on various physiological systems, leading to the progression of chronic degenerative disorders and pathologies associated with advancing age. Cellular senescence plays a central role in the aging process and the onset of various eye conditions associated with advancing age, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma, cataracts, and ocular surface disorders. The accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) and their secretion of pro-inflammatory and tissue-remodeling factors, collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), exacerbate chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue dysfunction, contributing to disease progression. This study is the first to systematically integrate the multifaceted mechanisms of cellular senescence in ocular diseases, revealing differential regulatory mechanisms of specific signaling pathways across different ocular pathologies, thereby providing novel insights into the pathogenesis of these disorders. SnC-targeted therapies such as senolytics, senomorphics, SASP modulators, mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants, and epigenetic reprogramming are emerging as regenerative therapies, demonstrating potent anti-inflammatory effects, restoration of normal tissue physiology, and successful regeneration of ocular defects in preclinical models and clinical trials, while slowing senescence-associated disease progression. This review not only summarizes the role of cellular senescence in ocular diseases but also delves into potential therapeutic strategies, particularly highlighting novel perspectives for root-cause-targeted therapies from the unique angle of senescence biology, which may pioneer new directions for the treatment of ocular pathologies.
