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

Aging, caused by a variety of exogenous stimuli and internal factors, leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in the function of the organism. The aging process involves complex gene regulation, in which transcription factors may play a key role as core regulatory elements. In this study, the single-cell transcriptome of skin revealed homeobox C10 (HOXC10) as a core element in the transcription factor regulatory network associated with skin aging. In vivo and vitro, the expression of HOXC10 was down-regulated in senescent fibroblasts and aging tissues, and overexpressed HOXC10 delayed cell senescence and skin aging. Mechanistically, HOXC10 targeted the promoter region of frizzled 6 (FZD6) to reduce its expression and therefore activated the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to delay aging. Finally, by using the Connectivity Map approach, we explored simvastatin as a functional mimic of HOXC10 and demonstrated its antiaging ability in vitro and vivo. In conclusion, our results establish the role of HOXC10/FZD6/Wnt signals in skin aging and identify simvastatin as a potential therapeutic strategy to delay aging.
