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

Orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) is a member of the NR4A subfamily that was initially discovered as an intermediate early gene expressed in response to stressors, including inflammatory agents. This review addresses the hypothesis that NR4A1 is a key nutrient sensor that contributes to the anti-aging and health-protective effects of receptor ligands, dietary phenolics, and other diet-derived compounds. There is evidence in animal models including humans that NR4A1 serves as an important gene that decreases the rate of aging and its associated diseases. For example, in humans and mice, NR4A1 expression decreases with age and loss of NR4A1 enhances disease susceptibility, and survival curves show that NR4A1-deficient mice live 4 months less than wild-type animals. An extensive comparison of inflammatory diseases, immune dysfunction, and fibrosis in multiple tissues shows that in NR4A1
