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 heterogeneous process, with organ systems and individuals experiencing variable rates of decline that are not fully reflected by chronological age. This variability contributes to the complexity of system morbidity, which poses increasing challenges for clinical care and biomedical research. In this review, we discuss the heterogeneity of organ and whole-body aging and perspectives on genomics as possible mechanisms that relate to such heterogeneity. We discuss how static genomics, including nuclear genetic variants, and dynamic genetics, such as somatic mutations, epigenetic drifts, and mitochondrial DNA changes might explain the variable rate of aging across organ systems and the whole body. We discuss that the use of metrics that capture heterogeneity in organ and body aging is critical to identify genomic biomarkers of aging, clarifying mechanisms of adaptation versus decline.
