Cell-to-cell variation in gene expression and the aging process.
Review in GeroScience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
There is tremendous variation in biological traits, and much of it is not accounted for by variation in DNA sequence, including human diseases and lifespan. Emerging evidence points to differences in the execution of the genetic program as a key source of variation, be it stochastic variation or programmed variation. Here we discuss variation in gene expression as an intrinsic property and how it could contribute to variation in traits, including the rate of aging. The review is divided into sections describing the historical context and evidence to date for nongenetic variation, the different approaches that may be used to detect nongenetic variation, and recent findings showing that the amount of variation in gene expression can be both genetically programmed and epigenetically controlled. Finally, we present evidence that changes in cell-to-cell variation in gene expression emerge as part of the aging process and may be linked to disease vulnerability as a function of age. These emerging concepts are likely to be important across the spectrum of biomedical research and may well underpin what we understand as biological aging.
