β2-microglobulin is overexpressed in buccal cells of elderly and correlated with expression of p16 and inflammatory genes.

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
β2M (Beta 2 microglobulin) is a small protein that is found in all nucleated cells, previous finding showed that its levels increased in the serum of the elderly. Buccal cell samples are none invasive approach for assessing the expression of target genes. There was rationality to assess the expression of β2M in buccal cells of people of a different group of ages. Indeed, the expression of β2M increased significantly with fold change 3.40, 4.80, 6.60
