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

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This retraction was suggested by the University of Cologne Investigation committee and seconded by the authors who the journal was able to contact (Wenz, T., Dillon, L., Diaz, F., Hida, A., and Moraes, C.T.). Following an investigation of the last author, Dr. Tina Wenz, by the University of Cologne, Germany, the university determined that data presented in this article have been inappropriately manipulated https://www.portal.uni-koeln.de/9015.html?&tx_news_pi1%5Bnews%5D=4335&tx_news_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=News&tx_news_pi1%5Baction%5D=detail&cHash=1deb8399d7f796d65ca9f6ae4764a1ce. Specifically, western blot images in Figure 5F (tubulin in cortex), 2F (COXI in hippocampus) and 3B (Sod2 in hippocampus) were re-used from an earlier article published elsewhere [Increased muscle PGC-1alpha expression protects from sarcopenia and metabolic disease during aging" Wenz T, Rossi SG, Rotundo RL, Spiegelman BM, and Moraes CT. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2009;106:20405-10, doi: 10.1073/pnas.0911570106] representing different experimental findings. Therefore, whether or not the main conclusions are still valid, the authors request retraction of this publication because the scientific integrity of the study was compromised. The authors sincerely apologize to the scientific community.
