Physiological Basis of Immune Function Among Geriatric Population and Nutrition: A Narrative Review.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The gradual decline of immune function associated with ageing is termed immunosenescence. This review explores the geriatric physiological change in immune system dynamics. Innate immunity changes due to ageing include reduced chemotaxis, phagocytosis, impaired neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and shifts in macrophage and dendritic cell functions. Adaptive immunity changes are marked by thymic involution, reduced naïve T and B cell output, and accumulated memory and senescent lymphocytes, diminishing immune diversity and efficacy. These immunological factors contributed to low-grade inflammation (inflammation), increased susceptibility to infections, and reduced vaccine responses. Other conditions like gut dysbiosis and persistent infections like Cytomegalovirus also cause immune exhaustion, resulting in an increased risk of respiratory and urinary tract infections and chronic metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding these complex interactions in ageing and related nutritional deficiencies induced by immune system impairment is vital for addressing age-related health challenges in the elderly population.
