Locus-specific LINE-1 mRNA expression reflects cell-type- and stimulus-specific senescence states.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 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
Long Interspersed Element-1 (L1) causes DNA damage and inflammation, which are hallmarks of cellular senescence. To understand the role of endogenous L1 in senescence, accurate detection and measurement of L1 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression changes during this process is crucial, as L1 transcription is the prerequisite step of L1-related downstream effects. We developed an automated bioinformatics pipeline to quantify locus-level L1 mRNA expression in ex vivo and in vitro models of normal and cancer human cells under various senescence-inducing stimuli. Contrary to previous studies, our analyses show that L1 expression does not always increase in senescent cells, and when it does, the changes are moderate and independent of overlapping gene expression. We find that each cell type expresses subsets of L1 loci that are either expressed constitutively (core L1s) or only in proliferating or senescent cells. These subsets can be used to identify cellular state and inform the origin of senescent cells and senescence stimuli. Additionally, we present a comprehensive atlas of L1 splice sites used in proliferating and senescent cells, expanding our knowledge of L1 splicing events beyond the few previously validated sites. These findings establish L1 as an additional indicator for identifying and characterizing senescent cell populations.
