1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bloom syndrome (BSyn) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the BLM gene, which is involved in genome stability. Patients with BSyn present with poor growth, sun sensitivity, mild immunodeficiency, diabetes, and increased risk of cancer, most commonly leukemias. Interestingly, patients with BSyn do not have other signs of premature aging such as early, progressive hair loss and cataracts. We set out to determine epigenetic age in BSyn, which can be a better predictor of health and disease over chronological age. Our results show for the first time that patients with BSyn have evidence of accelerated epigenetic aging across several measures in blood lymphocytes, as compared to carriers. Additionally, homozygous Blm mice exhibit accelerated methylation age in multiple tissues, including brain, blood, kidney, heart, and skin, according to the brain methylation clock. Overall, we find that Bloom syndrome is associated with accelerated epigenetic aging effects in multiple tissues and more generally a strong effect on CpG methylation levels.
