Fueling the fire: metabolic dysfunction and senescence as drivers of lung aging and disease.
Review in Physiological reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
With a rapidly expanding human population at advanced ages and age as the main driver for chronic diseases, we face the challenge of understanding tissue aging and devising new therapeutic interventions. Cellular senescence is an important hallmark of all aging tissues and has emerged as a potential key driver of chronic lung diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma. This comprehensive review recapitulates current knowledge of pathways and processes involved in cellular senescence with emphasis on the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and the "4 Ms" (morphology, mitophagy, metabolism, and metabolites). We review our current knowledge of healthy lung aging, discuss which pathomechanisms in chronic lung disease are characterized by senescence, and summarize current target therapeutics and their impact on lung disease. Within this exponentially growing field, we propose emerging concepts and current gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed to develop better opportunities for therapeutic strategies and future investigations.
