Cellular senescence in cancer immunology and potential therapeutic strategy.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cellular senescence represents a state of stable, often irreversible cell cycle arrest. Unlike apoptosis, senescent cells (SCs) remain metabolically active and engage in robust secretory activity, most notably through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP exerts profound and context-dependent effects on tumor initiation and progression. This review analyzes the dual role of senescent cells in tumor immunity. On one hand, they can exhibit anti-tumorigenic effects through SASP-mediated enhancement of immune surveillance and their inherent high immunogenicity. On the other hand, they can promote tumorigenesis by fostering an immunosuppressive microenvironment, polarizing immune cells via the SASP, and upregulating senescence-associated immune checkpoints (SAICs) to facilitate immune escape. These dual characteristics inform promising therapeutic strategies: first, inducing senescence in tumor cells, and second, selectively eliminating the resulting senescent populations. Notably, systemic senescence induction can cause off-target effects in healthy tissues, underscoring the need for targeted delivery systems. In conclusion, we highlight emerging senescence-targeted immunotherapies as a next-generation approach to strategically harness senescence for cancer control.
