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

Accumulating DNA damage plays a crucial role in aging, particularly in post-mitotic tissues by disrupting transcription and causing transcriptional stress-a state marked by reduced transcriptional productivity. Transcriptional stress disproportionately affects long genes, due to the random distribution of DNA lesions across the genome. An estimate for the total number of transcription-blocking lesions (TBLs) required to induce transcriptional stress and contribute to aging is lacking. Here, we estimated the number of TBLs accumulating with age, by integrating experimental data with a mathematical model based solely on fundamental biological principles. Using 5-ethynyluridine (EU) incorporation, we assessed transcriptional activity in dermal fibroblasts and liver tissue from
