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

Cell recovery from near-death states is a critical yet poorly understood aspect of cell biology. Here, we describe a tightly-regulated programmed cell revival process after exposure of cells to cell death-inducing lysosomotropic agents, such as L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester (LLOMe). In the initial stage of cell recovery, we observe increased chromatin accessibility and upregulation of genes and pathways associated with embryonic development, regeneration, stemness, and inflammation. Subsequently, vital pathways governing metabolism, organelle biogenesis, membrane trafficking, transport, and cytoskeleton remodeling are activated, resulting in the complete renewal of cells. Consistent with the links of this transcriptional profile to tissue repair and regeneration, we found LLOMe to enhance the healing of skin wounds and corneal alkali burns in mice, promote hematopoietic progenitor/stem cell production in Drosophila melanogaster, induce tadpole tail regeneration in frogs, and mediate axon regeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans. Using both genetic and pharmacological approaches, we show NF-ĸB signaling to be critical for both cell revival and regeneration. This study characterizes cell revival from near-death conditions as a programmed cell-intrinsic mechanism, which could be harnessed for therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine.
