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

Energy restriction is closely related to cellular senescence and species longevity. Here, based on the structure and function of ATP synthase, a key enzyme for energy generation, we develop energy metabolism-engaged nanomedicines (EM-eNMs) to rejuvenate aged stromal/stem cells, and help to prevent skeletal ageing. We show that EM-eNMs infiltrate the mitochondria of aged bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BMMSCs), driving mitochondrial fission, mitophagy, glycolysis and maintaining BMMSC stemness and multifunction. The EM-eNMs directly bind to the ATP synthase and promote mitophagy through induction of the dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) gene. Remarkably, EM-eNMs selectively target bone tissues through systemic delivery and significantly reverse osteoporotic bone loss in aged mice by enhancing mitochondrial fission and mitophagy, while simultaneously restoring the stemness and osteogenic potential of aged BMMSCs in situ. Taken together, our findings highlight the potential of the EM-eNMs as a targeted therapy to alleviate cellular senescence and age-related diseases.
