Age-related changes in calcium ion influx and efflux capacity of human dermal fibroblasts.

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.
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
Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) are ubiquitous signaling molecules that play important roles as messengers controlling a variety of cellular functions in eukaryotes. Intracellular Ca²⁺ is tightly regulated by a complex interplay between channels, pumps, and exchangers. Aging disrupts Ca²⁺ homeostasis, contributing to age-related diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders. Previous studies have highlighted the role of Ca²⁺ in regulating actin cytoskeletal proteins in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). In this study, we investigated the effect of age on Ca²⁺ influx and efflux in HDFs to test the hypothesis that age-related perturbations in Ca²⁺ homeostasis are correlated with increased F-actin content in aged HDFs. We observed that aging leads to quantitative and functional changes in Ca²⁺ channels, resulting in differences in Ca²⁺ dynamics. Older HDFs showed reduced Ca²⁺ influx and accelerated outflow compared to neonatal and young cells, potentially inhibiting gelsolin activity and increasing F-actin content. Although Ca²⁺ alone cannot fully explain the age-dependent F-actin changes, our findings suggest that it plays an important role in cellular senescence.
