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

The potential of senescent cell clearance to extend healthspan and delay the onset of age-related diseases has driven the development of innovative senotherapeutics. Thus, niosome-based gene therapy has emerged as a promising strategy to overcome the off-target limitations of first-generation senolytics, senomorphics, and senoreverts. In the present study, we investigated two new niosome formulations for genetically modifying primary umbilical cord stroma senescent MSCs (UC-MSCs) in a Palbociclib-induced senescent model, using non-senescent UC-MSCs as a control. These niosomes were formulated by fixing the cationic lipid composition (1,2-di-O-octadecenyl-3 trimethylammonium propane, DOTMA, D) and varying the non-ionic surfactants (polysorbate 20, P20, or polysorbate 80, P80) and the helper lipids (chloroquine, CQ, or cholesterol, CH) (DP20CQ and DP80CH, respectively) at two mole ratios (1:2:1 and 1:2:2 for DP20CQ; 1:2:2 and 1:2:4 for DP80CH). Results on transfection revealed that the DP20CQ formulations outperformed those with DP80CH in both UC-MSCs phenotypes from four different donors. Notably, DP20CQ niosomes prepared at 10/1 and 15/1 DOTMA/DNA ratios achieved the highest transgene expression levels in senescent UC-MSCs, surpassing even the commercial reagent Lipofectamine. Further, DP20CQ formulations exhibited adequate physicochemical properties for transfection and promoted a marked endosomal escape, particularly at the DOTMA/DNA ratio 10/1, without compromising cell viability. These findings underscore the value of niosomes as robust gene delivery vehicles for senescent cells in therapeutic antiaging strategies.
