Centenarians and near-centenarians in India: empirical insights on health and well-being characteristics.
Article in GeroScience, 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
We examined the socioeconomic and health characteristics of centenarians (100 years or above) and near-centenarians (90-99 years) in India. Utilizing data from the Wave-1 of the Longitudinal Ageing Study of India (LASI), we compared the distribution of centenarians and near-centenarians with those aged 60-89 years across socioeconomic, health, and subjective well-being indicators. Our findings revealed that most of the sample centenarians and near-centenarians were female, educated, and widowed. They displayed low prevalence rates of chronic ailments (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension). More than half of the sample centenarians were also able to perform basic activities of daily living like walking, eating, bathing, and dressing. About three-fourths of the oldest population also perceived their life to be fairly good. Our findings suggest that centenarians (near-centenarians) in India elicit a healthier profile and can be a vital source of information for advancing longevity research. The absence of reliable headcount on centenarians indicates a huge scope for building a national-level data repository for directing and navigating policy actions.
