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

Chronological age has been the standard for quantifying the aging process. While it is simple to quantify it cannot fully discern the biological variability of aging between individuals. The growing body of interest in this variability of human aging has led to the introduction of new biomarkers to operationalize biological age. The inclusion of body composition may provide additional value to biological aging as a prediction and estimation factor of individual health outcomes. Diagnostic images based on radiomic techniques such as Computed Tomography contain an untapped wealth of patient-specific data that remain inaccessible to healthcare providers. These images are beneficial for collecting information from body composition that adds precision and granularity when compared to traditional measures. This information can subsequently be aggregated to construct models for changes in the human body associated with aging. In addition, aging leads to a natural decline in the best parameter of drug dosing in older adults, glomerular filtration rate. Since the conventional models of kidney function are correlated with age and body composition, the radiomic biomarkers representing age-related changes in body composition may also serve as potential new imaging biomarkers of kidney function for personalized dosing. Our review introduces potential radiomic biomarkers as measures of body composition change targeting the aging processes. As a functional example, we have hypothesized an age-related model of radiomics as a covariate of kidney function to improve personalized dosing. Future research focusing on evaluating this hypothesis in human subject studies is acknowledged.
