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 liver is a key metabolic organ that maintains whole-body nutrient homeostasis. Aging-induced liver function alterations contribute to systemic susceptibility to aging-related diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of liver aging remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we performed bulk RNA-Seq and single-cell RNA-Seq analyses to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the aging-induced liver function changes. We found that liver inflammation, glucose intolerance, and liver fat deposition were aggravated in old mice. Aging significantly increased pro-inflammation in hepatic macrophages. Furthermore, we found that Kupffer cells (KCs) were the major driver to induce pro-inflammation in hepatic macrophages during aging. In KCs, aging significantly increased pro-inflammatory levels; in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), aging had a limited effect on pro-inflammation but led to a functional quiescence in antigen presentation and phagosome process. In addition, we identified an aging-responsive KC-specific (ARKC) gene set that potentially mediates aging-induced pro-inflammation in KCs. Interestingly, FOXO1 activity was significantly increased in the liver of old mice. FOXO1 inhibition by AS1842856 significantly alleviated glucose intolerance, hepatic steatosis, and systemic inflammation in old mice. FOXO1 inhibition significantly attenuated aging-induced pro-inflammation in KCs partially through downregulation of ARKC genes. However, FOXO1 inhibition had a limited effect on aging-induced functional quiescence in MDMs. These results indicate that aging induces pro-inflammation in liver mainly through targeting KCs and FOXO1 is a key player in aging-induced pro-inflammation in KCs. Thus, FOXO1 could be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of age-associated chronic diseases.
