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

Cognitive function in aging is heterogeneous: while some older individuals develop significant impairments and dementia, others remain resilient and retain cognitive function throughout their lifespan. The molecular mechanisms that underlie these divergent cognitive trajectories, however, remain largely unresolved. Here, we utilized a high-resolution home-cage-based cognitive testing paradigm to delineate mechanisms that contribute to age-related cognitive heterogeneity. We cognitively stratified aged C57Bl/6N male mice by cognitive performance into intact (resilient) or impaired subgroups based on young performance benchmarks. Cognitively impaired males exhibited marked reactive gliosis in the hippocampus, characterized by microglial activation, increased astrocyte arborization, and elevated transcriptional expression of reactivity markers. These changes were accompanied by increased markers of cellular senescence and the associated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in impaired animals, including p16
