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

Aging is a complex process that significantly contributes to age-related diseases and poses significant challenges for effective interventions, with few holistic anti-aging approaches successfully reversing its signs. Heterochronic parabiosis studies illuminated the potential for rejuvenation through blood-borne factors, yet the specific drivers including underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown and until today insights have not been successfully translated to humans. In this study, we were able to recreate rejuvenation of the human skin via systemic factors using a microphysiological system including a 3D skin model and a 3D bone marrow model. Addition of young human serum in comparison to aged human serum resulted in an improvement of proliferation and a reduction of the biological age as measured by methylation-based age clocks in the skin tissue. Interestingly, this effect was only visible in the presence of bone marrow-derived cells. Further investigation of the bone marrow model revealed changes in the cell population in response to young versus aged human serum treatment. Using proteome analysis, we identified 55 potential systemic rejuvenating proteins produced by bone marrow-derived cells. For seven of these proteins, we were able to verify a rejuvenating effect on human skin cells using hallmarks of aging assays, supporting their role as systemic factors rejuvenating human skin tissue.
