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

Senescent cells are intrinsically immunogenic and can be eliminated by the immune system to facilitate tissue repair and regeneration. However, immune-mediated elimination is compromised with age, causing senescent cell accumulation in tissues, thus limiting healthspan and lifespan and promoting age-related diseases such as cancer. Here, we review how different components of the innate and adaptive immune systems, including natural killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, T cells and B cells, target senescent cells and how the intrinsic properties of senescent cells can lead to their escape from surveillance. We also discuss the phenomenon of senescence in immune cells themselves and how this affects the surveillance of senescent and cancerous cells. Finally, we touch on emerging therapeutic strategies to enhance the immunosurveillance of senescent cells, as understanding the molecular basis of senescence immunosurveillance and why its potency fails during aging may offer opportunities to treat senescence-mediated age-associated diseases and tissue dysfunction.
