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

Introduction: Aging is a progressive and irreversible process linked to a variety of diseases. Examination of the processes targeted by pharmacological treatments could potentially both extend lifespan and alleviate age-associated diseases. 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (20(S)-PPD), a primary ginsenoside metabolite, has many beneficial properties, although it`s anti-aging effects are unknown. Methods: Lifespan and behavioral assays were used to determine the effects of 20(S)-PPD on life span and healthy lifespan. Stress resistance was systematically determined under heat, oxidative, and chemical stress conditions. The target of 20(S)-PPD was identified by molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance. Investigation in mutant worms identified the signaling pathway and transcription factor mediating 20(S)-PPD-induced longevity. Results: 20(S)-PPD could significantly extend Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that IR is a molecular target of 20(S)-PPD and reveal a mechanism by which 20(S)-PPD promotes longevity and stress resistance, suggesting the potential of 20(S)-PPD in slowing aging and the development of age-associated disorders.
