Frailty, sex, and poverty are associated with DNA damage and repair in frail, middle-aged urban adults.
Article in DNA repair, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Frailty is an age-related syndrome characterized by reduced recovery from stressors and increased risks of morbidity and mortality. Although frailty is usually studied in those over 65 years, our previous work showed that frailty is both present and a risk factor for premature mortality in midlife. We identified altered gene expression patterns and biological pathways associated with inflammation in frailty. Evidence suggests DNA oxidation damage related to inflammation accumulates with age, and that DNA repair capacity (DRC) declines with age and age-related conditions. We hypothesized that inter-individual differences in DNA oxidation damage and DRC are associated with frailty status and poverty level. Using the CometChip assay, we assessed baseline single-strand breaks and hydrogen peroxide (H
