Exploring the Relationship of Transposable Elements and Ageing: Causes and Consequences.
Review in Genome biology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Ageing is a gradual biological process marked by a decline in physiological function, increasing susceptibility to disease, and mortality. Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive DNA sequences capable of moving within the genome and thus potentially inducing mutations and disrupting normal cellular functions. Their mobile nature contributes to genomic variation, as transposition events can alter gene expression, chromosome structure, and the epigenetic landscape. To mitigate TE-induced damage, cells rely on epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and small RNAs, to repress TE activity. However, these silencing mechanisms become less effective with age, leading to increased TE activation. This review explores the dual role of TEs as both a cause and consequence of ageing, suggesting a complex relationship between TEs and the ageing process.
