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

Epigenetic clocks have emerged as novel measures of biological aging and potential predictors of mortality. We examined all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality prediction by epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) estimated using different epigenetic clocks. Among 2105 participants to the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey aged ≥ 50 years old and followed for mortality through 2019, we calculated EAAs from the residuals of nine epigenetic clocks regressed on chronological age. We assessed the association of EAAs and pace of aging with mortality adjusting for covariates. During 17.5 years of median follow-up, 998 deaths occurred, including 272 from cardiovascular disease and 209 from cancer. Overall mortality was most significantly predicted by Grim EAA (P < 0.0001) followed by Hannum (P = 0.005), Pheno (P = 0.004), Horvath (P = 0.03), and Vidal-Bralo (P = 0.04) EAAs. Grim EAA predicted cardiovascular mortality (P < 0.0001), whereas Hannum (P = 0.006), Horvath (P = 0.009), and Grim (P = 0.01) EAAs predicted cancer mortality. Overall mortality prediction differed by race/ethnicity between non-Hispanic White and White participants for Horvath (P
