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 exhibits both systemic and organ-specific components, yet existing models struggle to disentangle their shared versus distinct biological determinants at the population level. We present a structural decomposition framework that partitions seven organ-based biological age gaps (BAGs) into a Common BAG (CBAG) and seven Organ-Specific BAGs (OSBAGs) in 501,388 UK Biobank participants. This dual-axis model outperforms undecomposed body/organ BAG approaches in predicting lifespan, healthspan, and organ-specific disease risk. A large-scale aging GWAS identifies 747 novel loci, complemented by integrative proteomic and metabolomic analyses that reveal causal and druggable targets, including CST1. Pathway-guided multi-omics demonstrates a modular aging architecture, with CBAG reflecting cross-tissue regulators (e.g., FOXO3) and OSBAGs capturing organ-restricted effectors (e.g., UMOD). Drug-aging profiling uncovers organ-specific pro-aging effects consistent with known toxicities that are largely missed by undecomposed models. Sex-stratified analyses further reveal divergent molecular trajectories between males and females. All findings are integrated into HONOR, the first open-access atlas for structural aging and multi-omics translation.
