The Degradation and Aging of Biological Systems as a Process of Information Loss and Entropy Increase.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The problem of the degradation and aging of bioorganisms is herein considered from the viewpoint of statistical physics. Two typical timescales in biological systems-the time of metabolic processes and the time of the life cycle-are used. A kinetic equation describing the small timescales of the systems' characteristic processes in is proposed. Maintaining a biosystem in a time-stable state requires a constant inflow of negative entropy (negentropy). Ratios are proposed to evaluate the aging and degradation of systems in terms of entropy. As an example, the aging of the epithelium is studied. The connection of our approach to the information theory of aging is discussed, as well as theoretical constructions related to the concept of cooperon and its changing with time.
