Sex-specific insights into drug-induced lifespan extension and weight loss in mice.
Article in npj aging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The DrugAge database serves as a comprehensive resource for studying compounds that increase lifespan in model organisms. In the latest version of DrugAge, we implemented multiple updates, predominantly focusing on mouse studies to enhance data accuracy and consistency. Key improvements include re-recording of mouse data from original sources, standardization of drug dosages to parts per million, and recording of administration routes, treatment initiation ages, and lifespans of controls. The user interface was also upgraded. Additionally, weight change data were included to address the potential impact of caloric restriction induced by drug administration on lifespan. Our analysis revealed significant correlations between weight loss and lifespan extension in male mice, particularly in studies conducted by the Interventions Testing Program, highlighting the importance of considering weight changes in lifespan studies. We also observed notable sex-related differences in lifespan and weight change responses, underscoring the need for sex-specific analyses in aging research.
