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

Chronic exposure to pesticides represents a substantial risk to human health; however, their role in promoting cellular senescence remains poorly understood. It's well known that endothelial dysfunction is an early hallmark of aging-related vascular damage. We employed Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) as an in vitro model for vascular endothelium to investigate whether pesticide exposure accelerates cellular senescence. The pesticides Boscalid (B), Pyraclostrobin (PY), Propamocarb (PR), and Lambda-cyhalothrin (LC) were tested individually and in combination. Following pesticide exposure, we evaluated cell viability through MTS assay, Endothelial Tube Formation by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), alteration in mitochondria through Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number (mtDNA) variation, and TOM20 evaluation, Telomere Length reduction, expression of p21, reduced Ki67, and TERT through Immunofluorescence. Our findings suggest that pesticides accelerate senescence in endothelial cells.
