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

A central process contributing to the phenotype of aging is cellular senescence. We recently identified the FOXO4 - p53 axis as pivotal in maintaining the viability of senescent cells, and that senescent cells can be targeted selectively with the senolytic peptide FOXO4-DRI. Here, we solve the solution NMR structural models of the p53 transactivation domain in complex with the FOXO4 forkhead domain and in complex with FOXO4-DRI. Strikingly, we find that the disordered FOXO4-DRI binds to the disordered p53
