Minimally processed, human-grade diet alters canine epigenetic ageing: Results from a pilot study.
Article in Veterinary record open, 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
Background: Diet plays a critical role in promoting wellness and longevity in both humans and canines. Epigenetic ageing clocks have emerged as accurate tools for assessing biological ageing and evaluating dietary and lifestyle interventions in humans and mice. Methods: A dog-specific epigenetic ageing clock was developed and validated using buccal swab samples from domestic dogs aged 1.5 and 17 years. The clock exhibited a strong correlation with chronological age in both the training set ( Results: Dogs fed with MPHGF diet exhibited a significant reduction in delta age, decreasing from 2.75 to 1.80 years over 6 months ( Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential for dietary interventions to influence epigenetic ageing in dogs and provides a practical, quantitative framework for investigating healthy ageing in companion animals.
