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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAmong the many proposed theories of aging, a growing body of research points to epigenetic alterations, particularly changes in DNA methylation patterns, as key contributors to biological decline. DNA methylation can be targeted and modulated to induce anti-aging and regenerative effects using an emerging therapeutic approach known as partial reprogramming, induced by different combinations of Yamanaka factors.

methodsIn this study, we performed an integrative secondary analysis of five publicly available DNA methylation datasets derived from partial reprogramming experiments across multiple mammalian species, tissues, cell types and combinations of transcription factors (

resultsFollowing differential methylation analysis of 929,009 CpGs, we identified 14 CpG sites showing reproducible and significant changes, with two CpGs consistently present across all datasets.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that partial reprogramming may exert anti-aging and regenerative effects, in part, through the selective modulation of conserved DNA methylation sites.
