Characterization of odor markers associated with aging in old ICR mice.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
To identify and characterize the novel odor markers associated with aging in mice, alterations in the concentration of odorants in the urine, expression of metabolic enzymes, the histopathological structure of the sweat glands, and the expression of regulatory factors in sweat secretion were analyzed in ICR mice of four different ages (2, 6, 8 and 10-month-old). The concentrations of 15 odorants including ethylenimine and trimethylamine (TMA), and total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were significantly higher in the urine of 8- and 10-month-old ICR mice. Among them, TMA was selected as an important odor biomarker associated with aging based on the aging-related upregulation and its odor characteristics. Also, the increase in TMA concentrations was reflected in the transcription levels of the gene encoding TMA monooxygenase in the livers and the feet as well as an age-dependent increase in the lumen area and secretory coiled portion of the sweat glands of mice. These results provide novel scientific evidence that the age-dependent changes in the volatiles in the urine are indicative of aging-related odors in ICR mice. Specifically, the study shows that TMA has potential as a novel diagnostic odor biomarker associated with aging in ICR mice to establish experimental animal platform for analyzing the efficacy and action mechanism of deodorants.
