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

The long lifespan of humans is often not matched with health span. Thus, there is a need for rejuvenation strategies. Here, we first discuss the evolutionary benefits of the long human lifespan, particularly when coupled with an extended health span. We then highlight the importance of understanding the complexity of aging before interfering with it. This raises the question of the optimal target for rejuvenation. We propose the blood system and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Their decline is associated with dysfunction and disease in other organs, crystallizing them as a central player in organismal aging. We present rejuvenation strategies targeting the hematopoietic system, especially HSCs, and explore their systemic benefits. Overall, we summarize the potential of the blood system to reverse aging. Impact statement There is a current need to reduce the economic burden caused by aging-related diseases. In this perspective article, we discuss the evidence that supports that rejuvenating or delaying aging of the blood system has a beneficial and systemic impact on human health.
