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

A global obesity pandemic, coupled with an increasingly ageing population, is exacerbating the burden of cardiovascular disease. Indeed, clinical and experimental evidence underscores a potential connection between obesity and ageing in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular disorders. This is further supported by the notion that weight reduction not only effectively reduces major cardiovascular events in elderly individuals but is also considered the gold standard for lifespan extension, in obese and non-obese model organisms. This review evaluates the intricate interplay between obesity and ageing from molecular mechanisms to whole organ function within the cardiovascular system. By comparatively analysing their characteristic features, shared molecular and cell biological signatures between obesity and ageing are unveiled, with the intent to shed light on how obesity accelerates cardiovascular ageing. This review also elaborates on how emerging metabolic interventions targeting obesity might protect from cardiovascular diseases largely through antagonizing key molecular mechanisms of the ageing process itself. In sum, this review aims to provide valuable insight into how understanding these interconnected processes could guide the development of novel and effective cardiovascular therapeutics for a growing aged population with a concerning obesity problem.
