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

backgroundHispanics/Latinos in the United States experience disproportionately high psychosocial factors compared to non-Hispanic/Latino Whites. Psychosocial factors may accelerate biological aging, measured by epigenetic age acceleration (EAA), a DNA methylation biomarker predictive of morbidity and mortality.

methodsWe investigated the cumulative impact of psychosocial factors on EAA over time in 922 adults from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). Psychosocial exposure profiles were derived using self-organizing maps (SOM), an unsupervised clustering method. We calculated EAA from whole blood DNA methylation at two timepoints using GrimAge and DunedinPACE.

resultsSOM identified four clusters: Cluster 1 (

conclusionsThese findings highlight the cumulative impact of psychosocial factors on EAA and how stressors can get "under the skin" and contribute to health disparities.
