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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in aging. In this National Institutes on Aging-funded study, we sought to identify circulating extracellular vesicle (EV) biomarkers indicative of longevity. The plasma EV proteome of 48 older adults (mean age 77.2 ± 1.7 years [range 72-80]; 50% female, 50% Black, 50% < 2-year survival, 50% ≥ 10-year survival) was analyzed by high-resolution mass spectrometry and flow cytometry. The ability of EV peptides to predict longevity was evaluated in discovery (n = 32) and validation (n = 16) datasets with areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs). Longevity-associated large EV (LEV) plasma subpopulations were mainly related to immune cells (HLA-ABC
