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
Background: Phenoage, compared to chronological age, better captures the multifaceted nature of aging as a process influenced by various pathological and environmental factors. Phenoage acceleration, defined as the disparity between biological and chronological age, indicates aging pace. However, the association between body roundness index (BRI), a more precise measure of obesity, and phenoage acceleration remains unexamined. Methods: Adults participants were enrolled from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted between 2005 and 2020. The values of BRI, as well as body mass index (BMI) and phenoage acceleration were calculated. Potential correlations between phenoage acceleration and the values of BRI were explored using multivariate regression models. Results: Data from 8,848 individuals were analyzed, of which 4,271 (48.3%) participants being female. The overall mean BRI among participants was 5.43 (±2.37), while the mean phenoage was 45.5 (±18.5) years. After full covariate adjustment, a stepwise increase in phenoage acceleration was observed across BRI quartiles. Compared to Quartile 1 (Q1, reference), the acceleration was significantly greater in Q2 ( Conclusion: Our study reveals a significant positive link between BRI and phenoage acceleration, highlighting BRI's potential as a sensitive predictor of biological aging. Integrating BRI into routine assessments could enable more personalized and effective strategies for healthy aging.
