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

The term 'inflammaging' has been coined to describe the chronic state of inflammation derived from ongoing cycles of tissue damage and the subsequent immune responses. This inflammatory status contributes to the decline of organs and physiological functions, accelerates the aging process, and increases the risk of age-related illnesses and death. During aging, the gut microbiota (GM) undergoes significant changes, including a decreased diversity of species, a decline in beneficial bacteria, and a rise in proinflammatory ones, resulting in persistent low-grade inflammation. Moreover, environmental factors, such as diet and medications, contribute to age-related changes in GM and immune function, preventing or promoting inflammaging. This narrative review aims to clarify the underlying mechanisms of inflammaging and to specifically investigate the influence of GM and several environmental factors on these mechanisms, while also exploring potential differences related to sex. Moreover, lifestyle and pharmacological interventions will be suggested to promote healthy aging.
