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

Skin aging is a multifaceted biological process driven by genetic and environmental factors, in which epidermal stem cells (EpSCs) decrease in number and decline in function. Emerging evidence indicates that epigenetic modifications play a crucial regulatory role in the aging process. Therefore, elucidating the epigenetic mechanisms in aging will provide novel avenues for developing strategies to delay aging. In this review, we explore the epigenetic mechanisms regulating EpSCs function, namely DNA methylation (DNAm), histone modifications, noncoding RNA, and their dysregulation and the resulting series of manifestations during aging. Furthermore, we introduce epigenetic clocks such as Horvath's and the skin-specific VisAgeX to quantify these age-related changes, which provide precise biomarkers of biological age, enabling the assessment of both aging progression and therapeutic outcomes. Finally, we summarize emerging interventions targeting these epigenetic disruptions. Advancing these epigenetic modulations holds significant potential for cutaneous antiaging and fostering innovative dermatological treatments.
