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 a major risk factor for various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, and is associated with the accumulation of senescent cells, which can themselves propagate the senescence process through paracrine signaling. Migrasomes are organelles that form during cellular migration, detach from parent cells and mediate intercellular communication. Here we demonstrate that border-associated macrophages (BAMs) acquire senescence-associated properties during early brain aging, possibly due to prolonged exposure to amyloid beta. Senescent-like BAMs show elevated production of migrasomes, which convey senescence-associated signals including the apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage to neighboring cells. We show that microglia are prominent recipients of senescent-like BAM-derived migrasomes, and that through activation of CD16 in recipient cells, the apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage inhibits apoptosis and promotes senescence induction. Blocking migrasome induction in senescent-like BAMs through treatment with Tspan4-targeting siRNA-encapsulated liposomes ameliorates cognitive deficits in aged mice. Our findings suggest that migrasomes are potent vehicles of senescence-regulatory signals and represent a promising target for senomorphic therapy.
