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

Biological clocks and other molecular biomarkers of aging are difficult to implement widely in a clinical setting. In this study, we used routinely collected hematological markers to develop an aging clock to predict blood age and determine whether the difference between predicted age and chronologic age (aging gap) is associated with advanced aging in mice. Data from 2,562 mice of both sexes and three strains were drawn from two longitudinal studies of aging. Eight hematological variables and two metabolic indices were collected longitudinally (12,010 observations). Blood age was predicted using a deep neural network. Blood age was significantly correlated with chronological age, and aging gap was positively associated with mortality risk and frailty. Platelets were identified as the strongest age predictor by the deep neural network. An aging clock based on routinely collected blood measures has the potential to provide a practical clinical tool to better understand individual variability in the aging process.
