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

Although multiple high-performing epigenetic aging clocks exist, few are based directly on gene expression. Such transcriptomic aging clocks allow us to extract age-associated genes directly. However, most existing transcriptomic clocks model a subset of genes and are limited in their ability to predict novel biomarkers. With the growing popularity of single-cell sequencing, there is a need for robust single-cell transcriptomic aging clocks. Moreover, clocks have yet to be applied to investigate the elusive phenomenon of sex differences in aging. We introduce TimeFlies, a pan-cell-type scRNA-seq aging clock for the
