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

backgroundBecause frailty is a major health concern among older patients, identifying frailty-related biomarkers will help in the early detection and prevention of frailty. Thus, we aimed to determine the association between circulating levels of silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) and frailty.

methodsWe assessed circulating SIRT1 levels in 16 robust, 74 prefrail, and 40 frail older adults. Frailty was diagnosed based on the Fried phenotype. Circulating cytokine and adipokine (e.g., vaspin, adiponectin, and leptin) levels were assessed. Differences in SIRT1 levels among the three subject groups were compared; correlations of SIRT1 levels with physical function and adipokine and cytokine levels were analyzed.

resultsSerum SIRT1 levels were significantly higher among frail older adults than among robust ones. Older adults with slowness or weight loss had high SIRT1 levels. Serum SIRT1 levels negatively correlated with gait speed, even after adjustment for age and sex; age; and insulin, vaspin, and leptin levels; they correlated negatively with phospholipase A2 levels.

conclusionsHigh SIRT1 levels were observed in frail elderly patients and were correlated with decreased physical function. Insulin and adipokine levels might be the link between SIRT1 and frailty, whereas inflammation may not be involved in this process.
