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

Aging is associated with decreased health span, and despite the recent advances made in understanding the mechanisms of aging, no antiaging drug has been approved for therapy. Therefore, strategies to promote a healthy life in aging are desirable. Previous work has shown that chronic treatment with extracellular vesicles (EVs) from young mice prolongs lifespan in old mice, but the mechanism of action of this effect on liver metabolism is not known. Here we investigated the role of treatment with EVs derived from young sedentary (EV-C) or exercised (EV-EX) mice in the metabolism of old mice and aimed to identify key youthful-associated microRNA (miRNA) cargos that could promote healthy liver function. We found that aged mice treated with either EV-C or EV-EX had higher insulin sensitivity, higher locomotor activity resulting in longer distance traveled in the cage, and a lower respiratory exchange ratio compared to mice treated with EVs from aged mice (EV-A). In the liver, treatment with young-derived EVs reduced aging-induced liver fibrosis. We identified miR-30c in the EVs as a possible youth-associated miRNA as its level was higher in circulating EVs of young mice. Treatment of aged mice with EVs transfected with miR-30c mimic reduced stellate cell activation in the liver and reduced fibrosis compared to EV-negative control by targeting Foxo3. Our results suggest that by delivering juvenile EVs to old mice, we can improve their liver health. Moreover, we identified miR-30c as a candidate for antiaging liver therapy.
