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

Anti-aging foods not only benefit elderly individuals but also drive the development of safe and effective natural drugs. Here, we report that the addition of total flavonoids of litchi seed (TFL) delays replicative senescence and stress-induced senescence. TFL alleviates the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and reduces the degree of DNA damage caused by bleomycin (BLM). TFL also counteracts stress-induced pulmonary senescence and fibrosis. TFL reduces the protein level of p21 in mouse lung and alleviates pulmonary fibrosis. Transcriptome profiling further reveals that TFL plays a key role in its anti-aging mechanism by inhibiting the SASP. Mechanistically, TFL suppresses p65 protein expression, thereby inhibiting IL-1α and IL-1β and delaying cellular senescence. Gut microbiome analysis reveals that the abundance and functions of the mouse gut microbiome change after BLM exposure and that TFL treatment reverses these changes. Overall, we provide a theoretical basis for the future application of TFL as a potential anti-aging product.
