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

backgroundAging is a major risk factor for chronic diseases and cancer. Cellular aging, particularly in adult stem cells, offers a high-throughput framework for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of aging.

resultsWe perform multiple genome-wide CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screenings in human primary mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue during either replicative senescence or inflammation-induced senescence. These screens reveal distinct sets of potential novel regulators specific to each senescence pathway. Combining our perturbation-based functional genomic data with 405 genome-wide association study datasets, including 50 aging-related studies, we find that the inflammatory aging signatures identified from CRISPRi screenings are significantly associated with diverse aging processes, suggesting novel molecular signatures for analyzing and predicting aging status and aging-related disease.

conclusionsThe signatures verified through comprehensive functional genomics and genetic analyses may provide new targets for modulating the aging process and enhancing the quality of cell therapy products.
