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

The laboratory fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the leading models for the study of aging. Whereas several behavioral and physiological biomarkers of aging have been identified for Drosophila, lifespan remains the most robust measure of aging rate. Aging and lifespan can be modulated by genetic alterations, as well as by drugs and dietary components, to reveal basic and conserved mechanisms of aging. Here methods are presented for Drosophila lifespan assay, including media preparation, supplementation of media with various drugs, culturing of the flies, passaging flies and recording deaths, and the analysis of lifespan data.
