Activation of senescence in critically ill patients: mechanisms, consequences and therapeutic opportunities.
Review in Annals of intensive care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Whereas aging is a whole-organism process, senescence is a cell mechanism that can be triggered by several stimuli. There is increasing evidence that critical conditions activate cell senescence programs irrespective of patient's age. In this review, we briefly describe the basic senescence pathways and the consequences of their activation in critically ill patients. The available evidence suggests a paradigm in which activation of senescence can be beneficial in the short term by rendering cells resistant to apoptosis, but also detrimental in a late phase by inducing a pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic state. Senescence can be a therapeutic target. The use of drugs that eliminate senescent cells (senolytics) or the senescence-associated phenotype (senomorphics) will require monitoring of these cell responses and identification of therapeutic windows to improve the outcome of critically ill patients.
