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

Various anti-aging interventions show promise in extending lifespan, but many are ineffective or even harmful to healthspan. Ginkgolide B (GB), derived from Ginkgo biloba, reduces aging-related morbidities such as osteoporosis, yet its effects on healthspan and longevity have not been fully understood. In this study, we found that continuous oral administration of GB to female mice beginning at 20 months of age extended median survival and median lifespan by 30% and 8.5%, respectively. GB treatment also decreased tumor incidence; enhanced muscle quality, physical performance and metabolism; and reduced systemic inflammation and senescence. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of skeletal muscle tissue showed that GB ameliorated aging-associated changes in cell type composition, signaling pathways and intercellular communication. GB reduced aging-induced Runx1
