Sestrins as Biomarkers of Cellular Stress and Human Disease.
Review in Cells, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Sestrins are an evolutionarily conserved family of stress-responsive proteins that regulate cellular metabolism, redox balance, and survival. Their expression is induced by diverse cellular stresses through activation of transcription factors such as p53, NRF2, and FOXO. Through antioxidant activity and modulation of mTORC1 and mTORC2 signalling, Sestrins limit the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, regulate metabolic pathways, and promote autophagy. In this review, we analyse published studies reporting SESN1, SESN2, and SESN3 expression in human tissues, circulation, and experimental disease models. The available evidence indicates that Sestrin levels are dynamically regulated across multiple pathologies, including metabolic, ageing, cardiovascular, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and degenerative disorders. Notably, changes in tissue Sestrin expression are often mirrored in circulation. These observations suggest that Sestrins may serve as informative biomarkers of cellular stress and disease states, and that monitoring their expression in tissues or blood could provide insight into disease progression and therapeutic response.
