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

We employed an untargeted proteo-metabolomic approach to profile circulating biomarkers in plasma samples from the I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study, aiming to identify biomarkers and pathways associated with physio-cognitive decline syndrome (PCDS). In 115 propensity score-matched PCDS case-control pairs, pathway analyses implicated dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism and inflammation in PCDS pathogenesis. Sex-specific associations were observed, with disruptions in central carbon metabolism (elevated PKM, MDH1, and GAPDH; decreased MINPP1) and tyrosine metabolism (decreased MIF, DBH; increased thyroxine) characterizing in men. In contrast, perturbations in glutathione and phenylalanine metabolism, including increased ANPEP, GSTP1, and decreased pyroglutamic acid, were identified in women. Results suggest that dysregulated energy and redox homeostasis likely contribute to PCDS development. Notably, ANPEP, PKM, and MIF emerged as potential biomarkers, elucidating the muscle-brain crosstalk framework. Our findings provide insights into potential molecular mechanisms underlying PCDS and the muscle-brain crosstalk, marking progress toward elucidating biomarkers in the journey of healthy aging.
