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

We investigate the age-related metabolic changes that occur in aged and rejuvenated myoblasts using in vitro and in vivo models of aging. Metabolic and signaling experiments reveal that human senescent myoblasts and myoblasts from a mouse model of premature aging suffer from impaired glycolysis, insulin resistance, and generate Adenosine triphosphate by catabolizing methionine via a methionine adenosyl-transferase 2A-dependant mechanism, producing significant levels of ammonium that may further contribute to cellular senescence. Expression of the pluripotency factor NANOG downregulates methionine adenosyltransferase 2 A, decreases ammonium, restores insulin sensitivity, increases glucose uptake, and enhances muscle regeneration post-injury. Similarly, selective inhibition of methionine adenosyltransferase 2 A activates Akt2 signaling, repairs pyruvate kinase, restores glycolysis, and enhances regeneration, which leads to significant enhancement of muscle strength in a mouse model of premature aging. Collectively, our investigation indicates that inhibiting methionine metabolism may restore age-associated impairments with significant gain in muscle function.
