Accelerated Metabolomic Aging and Its Association with Social Determinants of Health in Multiple Sclerosis.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Objectives: Biological age may better capture differences in disease course among people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) of identical chronological age. We investigated biological age acceleration through metabolomic age (mAge) in PwMS and its association with social determinants of health (SDoH) measured by area deprivation index (ADI). Methods: mAge was calculated for three cohorts: 323 PwMS and 66 healthy controls (HCs); 101 HCs and 71 DMT-naïve PwMS; and 64 HCs and 67 pediatric-onset MS/clinically isolated syndrome patients, using an aging clock derived from 11,977 healthy adults. mAge acceleration, the difference between mAge and chronological age, was compared between groups using generalized linear and mixed-effects models, and its association with ADI was assessed via linear regression. Results: Cross-sectionally, PwMS had higher age acceleration than HCs: 9.77 years in adult PwMS (95% CI:6.57-12.97, p=5.3e-09), 4.90 years in adult DMT-naïve PwMS (95% CI:0.85-9.01, p=0.02), and 6.98 years (95% CI:1.58-12.39, p=0.01) in pediatric-onset PwMS. Longitudinally, PwMS aged 1.19 mAge years per chronological year (95% CI:0.18, 2.20; p=0.02), faster than HCs. In PwMS, a 10-percentile increase in ADI was associated with a 0.63-year (95% CI:0.10-1.18; p=0.02) increase in age acceleration. Discussion: We demonstrated accelerated mAge in adult and pediatric-onset PwMS and its association with social disadvantage.
