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

Aging is characterized by changes in gene expression, some of which can drive deleterious cellular phenotypes and senescence. The transcriptional activation of senescence genes has been mainly attributed to epigenetic shifts, but the changes in chromatin accessibility and its underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive in natural aging. Here, we profiled chromatin accessibility in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) from individuals with ages ranging from neonatal to octogenarian. We found that AP-1 binding motifs are prevalent in elderly-specific accessible chromatin regions while neonatal-specific regions are highly enriched for TEAD binding motifs. We further show that TEAD4 and FOXM1 share a conserved transcriptional regulatory landscape controlled by a not previously described and age-dependent enhancer that loses accessibility with aging and whose deletion drives senescence. Finally, we demonstrate that FOXM1 ectopic expression in elderly cells partially resets chromatin accessibility to a youthful state due to FOXM1's repressive function on several members of the AP-1 complex, which is known to trigger the senescence transcriptional program. These results place FOXM1 at a top hierarchical level in chromatin remodeling required to prevent senescence.
