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

Model organisms such as yeast, worms, flies, and mice were key to discovering genes and other factors controlling life span and directly improved our understanding of human aging. Today, genomic tools allow study of a broader range of species, including those with short or long life spans, closely related species with different aging rates, or differences in interspecies aging. Models such as killifish, bats, and ants have much to teach us about human aging. They also reveal a flexible biological toolkit that species can use when evolutionary pressures drive rebalancing of growth, reproduction, or resilience with age-related decline.
