Caloric restriction attenuates age-related liver and kidney alterations in mice: Histological evidence.

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
objectiveThis study evaluated the histological impact of long-term caloric restriction (CR) on liver and kidney aging, assessing fibrosis, metabolic overload, and senescence-associated readouts.
methodsEight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were assigned to a standard diet (SD) or 50% CR and sacrificed at 12 or 16 months. A two-month-old group served as control (n=5/group). Liver and kidney tissues were processed for Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), and Masson's Trichrome staining. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assessed SIRT1, p16
resultsAged SD mice exhibited liver injury, increased PAS positivity, and collagen deposition, whereas CR attenuated these changes. The SD 16M group displayed the highest PAS positivity, while CR limited glycogen accumulation and preserved lobular architecture. In the kidney, SD animals developed tubular degeneration and architectural disruption; CR preserved renal structure and reduced tubular damage. CR was associated with higher SIRT1 immunoreactivity and lower acetylated p53, consistent with preserved SIRT1-linked deacetylation status. p16-positive cells increased with age under SD and were reduced by CR, though not fully normalized at 16 months. β-galactosidase immunoreactivity was evident in aged SD hepatocytes but minimal in CR groups.
conclusionLong-term CR preserves hepatic and renal histoarchitecture during aging by limiting metabolic overload, fibrotic remodeling, and senescence, accompanied by a sustained SIRT1/acetyl-p53 profile consistent with reduced p53 activation.
