Senescence and Stress Signaling Pathways in Corneal Cells After Nitrogen Mustard Injury.
Article in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Mustard gas keratopathy (MGK), a complication of exposure to sulfur mustard, is a blinding ocular surface disease involving key cellular pathways, including apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Recent studies indicate that cellular senescence contributes to the pathophysiology of mustard gas toxicity. This study aimed to assess senescence and stress-related pathways-particularly mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling-in nitrogen mustard (NM)-induced corneal injury. In vitro, primary human corneal epithelial (P-HCECs), primary human corneal mesenchymal stromal cells (hcMSCs), and human corneal-limbal epithelial cell (HCLE) lines were exposed to varying concentrations of NM. The results demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in cellular senescence, characterized by reduced Ki67 expression, elevated p16, and p21 mRNA levels, as well as activation of the MAPK pathway activation. Treatment with a selective p38-MAPK inhibitor significantly reduced senescence markers and improved cell proliferation following exposure to NM. Overall, these studies indicate that NM exposure triggers cellular senescence and stress-related MAPK signaling, while p38-MAPK inhibition mitigates these effects, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy.
