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

Research on aged individuals from developed countries show that lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, stress, smoking, and sleep quality impact aging. However, other relevant factors may influence aging in less-studied populations, such as Brazilian cohorts. This study aimed to analyze immunosenescence profile of individuals living in an endemic area for several infectious diseases in Brazil. We showed that these individuals exhibited accelerated epigenetic aging and increased production of IL-12p70, IL-17A, and IL-9. Production of inflammatory mediators IL-12p70, IL-6, IL-1β, IL-2, and IL-1ra in individuals with flu-like symptoms and those with COVID-19 was higher among residents in endemic areas than in residents from a control non-endemic area. Furthermore, residents of the endemic area had a more prominent inflammatory profile during viral infection and a different pattern of plasma mediators when compared to residents of a non-endemic area. Our data suggests that these two cohorts had specific immune signatures regardless of the presence or the type of infection at study. Therefore, we demonstrated that there were distinct patterns of immune responses and epigenetic aging depending on the environment the individuals live in. These observations add a layer of diversity to the studies of human aging by including individuals from less represented regions.
