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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening disease increasingly being diagnosed in the elderly population, marked by vascular injury, excessive vasoconstriction and progressive remodelling of the pulmonary arteries (PAs). These lead to sustained elevation of PA pressure and subsequent development of right ventricular failure. Despite the beneficial effects on disease progression and quality of life, current treatments do not cure PH, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Recently, cellular senescence has gained much attention as a stress response programme with substantial and somewhat controversial implications for both functional and structural changes within the pulmonary vasculature. Herein, we provide updated insights into the complex role and duelling good and bad effects of senescent cells in the development and progression of PH and discuss the novel therapeutic avenues that this connection opens. Finally, we identify challenges and unmet needs in understanding the two-faced nature of cellular senescence in PH and leveraging senescence therapeutically.
