Short-term fasting early in life extends lifespan in a mite Amblydromalus limonicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae).
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
Dietary restriction is one of the most effective and reproducible dietary interventions known to regulate aging and increase the healthy lifespan in various model organisms, ranging from the unicellular yeast to worms, flies, rodents, and primates. This study examined the effects of short-term fasting during early life (STFEL) on longevity in the phytoseiid predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus, hypothesizing that STFEL-especially at the facultative feeding larval stage-would extend lifespan. Experimental mites were divided into a control group with no fasting and four treatment groups subjected to 1-day fasting at the start in different developmental stages: Larval (T1), protonymph (T2), deutonymph (T3), and adult (T4). Results demonstrate that STFEL could significantly extends lifespan, with the most pronounced effects observed when fasting occurred at the start of the larval stage compared to other periods. These findings highlight the adaptive role of facultative feeding larvae and provide a foundation for developing physiological enhancement strategies in biocontrol applications.
