Accurate age estimation from blood samples of Han Chinese individuals using eight high-performance age-related CpG sites.

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
Age-related CpG sites (AR-CpGs) are currently the most promising biomarkers for forensic age estimation. In our previous studies, we first validated the age correlation of seven reported AR-CpGs in blood samples of Chinese Han population. Subsequently, we screened some good age predictors from blood samples of Chinese Han population, and built pyrosequencing-based age prediction models. However, it is still important to select a set of high-performance AR-CpGs in a specific racial group and establish a simple and efficient method for accurate age estimation for forensic purpose. In this study, eight AR-CpGs, namely chr6: 11,044,628 (ELOVL2), cg06639320 (FHL2), chr1: 207,823,723 (C1orf132), cg19283806 (CCDC102B), cg14361627 (KLF14), cg17740900 (SYNE2), cg07553761 (TRIM59), and cg26947034, were selected based on our previous studies, and a multiplex methylation SNaPshot assay was developed to investigate DNA methylation levels at these AR-CpGs in 529 blood samples (aged 2-82 years) from Han Chinese population. All selected CpG sites showed strong age correlation with the correlation coefficient (r) from 0.8363 to 0.9251. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and support vector regression (SVR) age prediction models were simultaneously established to fit change characteristics of DNA methylation levels of eight AR-CpGs with the age in 374 donors' blood samples. The MLR model enabled age prediction with R
