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

Neuronal senescence (i.e., neurescence) is an important hallmark of aging and neurodegeneration, but it remains poorly characterized in the human brain due to the lack of reliable markers. This study aimed to identify neurescence markers based on single-nucleus transcriptome data from postmortem human prefrontal cortex. Using an eigengene approach, we integrated three gene panels: (a) SenMayo, (b) canonical senescence pathway (CSP), and (c) senescence initiating pathway (SIP), to identify neurescence signatures. We found that paired markers outperform single markers; for instance, by combining CDKN2D and ETS2 in a decision tree, a high accuracy of 99% and perfect specificity (100%) were achieved in distinguishing senescent neurons (i.e, neurescent). Differential expression analyses identified 324 genes that are overexpressed in neurescent. These genes showed significant associations with important neurodegeneration-related pathways, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. Interestingly, several of these overexpressed genes are linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal dysregulation. These findings provide valuable insights into the complexities of neurescence, emphasizing the need for further exploration of histologically viable markers and validation in broader datasets.
