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

introductionBiology of aging is focused on elucidating the biochemical and genetic pathways that contribute to cellular damage accumulation over time. Thirty years of research are beginning to bear fruit as the first pharmacological interventions based on biology of aging go through clinical trials. Evolutionary theories of aging suggest that naturally selected traits believed to impart fitness in young organisms may be damaging in later life. Three major areas of focus in biology of aging are lifespan, healthspan, and rejuvenation. Areas covered: Aging research has produced several validated pharmacological interventions currently in clinical trials. Herein, the authors consider two representative case studies: 1) rapamycin analogs and their effect on the mTORC1 pathway, and 2) small molecules that target and kill senescent cells. The authors also provide their expert current and future perspectives on aging targeting drug discovery. Expert opinion: Aging-related therapeutic interventions will continue to emerge at an accelerating pace, both from research in biology of aging, as well as from coordinated biomedical research in aging-related chronic conditions.
