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

Aging is a complex degenerative process characterized by the accumulation of molecular damage and a heightened susceptibility to disease. The oxidative stress theory of aging identifies endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) as primary drivers of this cellular deterioration. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the critical, yet underappreciated, interplay between oxidative stress and the complement system, a powerful effector of innate immunity. We detail the mechanistic pathways through which redox imbalance directly activates complement components and, conversely, how complement activation amplifies oxidative stress, creating a vicious cycle that accelerates tissue damage. A central focus is placed on how this redox-complement axis contributes to the pathophysiology of age-related conditions, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases. Furthermore, the review explores emerging therapeutic strategies that target this interaction, highlighting the potential of antioxidant and complement-inhibitory approaches to disrupt this cycle and promote healthy aging. By synthesizing current evidence, this work underscores the significance of the redox-complement network as a key mechanistic link in aging and its associated diseases.
