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

As the global elderly population grows, age-associated metabolic disorders pose increasing public health challenges, highlighting the need for effective therapies. CD47, a transmembrane protein involved in immune and metabolic regulation, has been previously implicated in aging-related metabolic dysfunction. In this study, we investigated whether targeting CD47 by antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) could improve metabolic health in aged male mice. Twenty-month-old male mice were treated with control ASO or CD47 ASO (25 μg/g) for 10 weeks. We found that CD47ASO treatment selectively reduced visceral adiposity without affecting overall body weight in aged mice. It also improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and hyperlipidemia-key metabolic disturbances commonly associated with aging. Mechanistically, CD47 ASO treatment reduced adipocyte size in visceral fat by suppressing lipogenesis rather than enhancing lipolysis, which was confirmed
