Molecular evolution of animal aging.
Review in The EMBO journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Comparative biology plays a crucial role in uncovering fundamental biological mechanisms and providing evolutionary models for their variation. This approach is particularly valuable for studying aging, given the remarkable diversity in aging trajectories across the tree of life. Many evolutionary theories of aging were proposed well before the discovery of the molecular mechanisms involved, and they remain largely theoretical. Moreover, the growing number of model organisms and the expanding array of experimental and theoretical approaches used to study aging have often remained compartmentalized. As a result, integrating these diverse insights into a unified framework has become increasingly important. As a step toward this goal, this field perspective outlines general biological mechanisms that help explain the variability in aging patterns and longevity across the animal kingdom.
