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

backgroundAgeing is a progressive decline in organ function and tissue integrity caused by genetic, environmental and physiological factors. With the increasing lifespan of companion animals, effective anti-ageing interventions for elderly felines and canines have attracted growing attention in veterinary medicine.

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the anti-ageing effects of green tea extract, keratin hydrolysate and vitamin C in feline and canine mammary gland cells and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.

methodsFeline and canine mammary gland cells were treated with green tea extract, keratin hydrolysate and vitamin C in vitro. Cell proliferation, oxidative stress responses and ageing-associated protein expression induced by actinomycin D were evaluated. The involvement of the Hippo signalling pathway was further analysed to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-ageing effects.

resultsGreen tea extract, keratin hydrolysate and vitamin C significantly promoted the proliferation of feline and canine mammary gland cells. These treatments effectively restored the abnormal expression of ageing-related proteins induced by actinomycin D and exhibited protective effects against oxidative damage. Mechanistically, the anti-ageing effects were associated with regulation of the Hippo signalling pathway.

conclusionsGreen tea extract, keratin hydrolysate and vitamin C exhibit significant anti-ageing effects in feline and canine mammary gland cells through modulation of the Hippo pathway. These findings suggest their potential as safe and effective anti-ageing interventions for improving health and alleviating geriatric syndromes in ageing companion animals.
