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

Long-living individuals (LLIs) possess remarkable genetic resilience, characterized by protective variants that confer immune robustness and resistance to age-related diseases. The longevity-associated variant of BPIFB4 (LAV-BPIFB4), enriched in centenarians, demonstrated pleiotropic benefits including reduced inflammation, cardiovascular protection, and immune system rejuvenation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these protective effects remain incompletely understood. Here, we revealed that LAV-BPIFB4 fundamentally reshaped the immune features of platelets to establish enhanced immunomodulatory capacity through CD47 upregulation. Of note, centenarians displayed an elevated percentage of circulating CD47
