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

Here, we review three sets of key proteins and their corresponding downstream pathways that have been linked to extending lifespan and promoting health span in a wide range of organisms. In particular, we review the biology of the sirtuin family of proteins, the insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling (IIS) pathway, and the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Using insights derived from simple model organisms, mice, and humans we discuss how these proteins and pathways may potentially alter the rate of aging. We further describe how knowledge of these pathways may lead to the rational design of small molecules that modulate aging and hence alter the propensity for a host of age-related diseases.
