WormRACER: Robust Analysis by Computer-Enhanced Recording.
Article in GeroScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The pace of scientific high-throughput screening for age-related phenotypes requires the need for developing streamlined and efficacious methods of measuring and quantifying physiological outcomes and at a scale that enables adequate statistical power to measure the variation in populations. Here, we introduce Worm Robust Analysis by Computer-Enhanced Recording (WormRACER), a computationally efficient computer vision software capable of extracting six different crawling and swimming metrics from many animals simultaneously, including worm area, worm length, crawling speed, swimming speed, dynamic amplitude, and wave initiation rate (thrashing). Additionally, we developed a web-based portal that provides metric averages and metric vs time graphs that allow for simple data analysis and quality assurance. WormRACER will facilitate the rapid and quantitative characterization of movement as a facile measurement of healthspan enabling power for high-throughput screening of genetic, environmental, and pharmacological interventions.
