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 progressive physiological decline and age-related pathologies, yet the molecular determinants underlying lineage- and species-specific aging traits remain poorly understood. Although protein-coding regulators have dominated aging research, the contribution of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), particularly primate-specific lncRNAs, has not been systematically explored. Here, through evolutionary screening and cross-species aging-associated analyses, we identified a set of primate-specific lncRNAs (including LINC01021, CTC-575 l10.1, CTA-150C2.13, and RP11-305F18.1, etc.) associated with human aging, and we functionally characterized LINC01021 as a representative candidate to assess their causal involvement. In human cells, LINC01021 promotes cellular senescence, whereas its silencing attenuates senescence-associated phenotypes. Mechanistically, LINC01021 is predominantly located in the nucleus, where it facilitates DAZAP1-dependent destabilization of RBMX mRNA, leading to activation of the P53 pathway and induction of canonical senescence features. At the organismal level, ectopic expression of human LINC01021 in mice contributes to aging-like phenotypes, including increased frailty and impaired motor coordination. Together, these findings implicate primate-specific lncRNAs in lineage-restricted aging and highlight an evolutionarily recent regulatory layer that may modulate aging trajectories.
