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

Background: Immunosenescence, characterized by the decline and restructuring of immune system components with age, affects both innate and adaptive immunity. The predictive value of soluble factors in immunosenescence remains unclear. Objective: To investigate the predictive value of sCD28 (Soluble CD28), sCD40L (CD40 Ligand), sCD25 (Soluble CD25), IL-6 (Interleukin-6) and sPD-1 (Soluble Programmed Cell Death Protein 1) for immunosenescence in a general population, to evaluate their diagnostic potential using ROC curve analysis, including both individual and combined detection efficacy. Methods: We analyzed 131 healthy individuals across four age groups: young (≤44 years, Results: sPD-1, IL-6, and sCD28 levels positively correlated with age ( Conclusion: sPD-1, IL-6, and sCD28 are associated with immunosenescence and have diagnostic potential, with IL-6 showing the highest individual efficacy. Importantly, their combined detection enhances diagnostic accuracy for immunosenescence, highlighting their synergistic predictive value for immune aging.
