Isotschimgine promotes lifespan, healthspan and neuroprotection of Caenorhabditis elegans via the activation of nuclear hormone receptors.

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
Isotschimgine (ITG) is a bornane-type monoterpenoid derivative naturally occurring in genus Ferula plants and propolis. Its effects on aging and the underlying mechanisms are not yet well understood. This study employed Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model organism to evaluate the potential of ITG in extending lifespan, enhancing healthspan, and promoting neuroprotection, while exploring the underlying mechanisms involved. The results showed that ITG extended the lifespan and healthspan of C. elegans, significantly enhanced stress resistance and detoxification functions. Studies on mutants and qPCR data indicated that ITG-mediated lifespan extension was modulated by the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway and nuclear hormone receptors. Furthermore, ITG markedly increased stress-responsive genes, including daf-16 and its downstream genes sod-3 and hsp-16.2, as well as NHR downstream detoxification-related genes cyp35a1, cyp35b3, cyp35c1, gst-4, pgp-3 and pgp-13. Additionally, ITG alleviated β-amyloid-induced paralysis and behavioral dysfunction in transgenic C. elegans strains. The neuroprotective efficacy of ITG was weakened by RNAi knockdown of nuclear hormone receptors daf-12 and nhr-8. Overall, our study identifies ITG as a potential compound for promoting longevity and neuroprotection, mediated through nuclear hormone receptors.
