Caloric restriction and time-restricted eating in older adults with overweight or obesity: The Health, Aging, and Later-Life Outcomes Pilot Study.
Trial report in The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn animal models, caloric restriction (CR) and time-restricted eating (TRE) extend lifespan and healthspan; however, the long-term benefits in humans are unknown. The goal of the Health, Aging and Later-Life Outcomes Pilot (HALLO-P) was to inform the design of a definitive trial to evaluate the long-term effects of CR and TRE in older adults with overweight or obesity.
methodsHALLO-P randomized 90 older (≥60 years) adults with obesity or overweight to one of three 9-month interventions: (1) 20% CR delivered in-person; (2) 20% CR delivered remotely (RCR); and (3) 8-hour TRE with ad libitum caloric intake. The degree of sustained CR (by doubly labeled water), the sustainability of TRE, participant retention, and changes in body mass and composition, physical performance, and cardiometabolic risk factors were examined.
resultsParticipants had a mean (SD) age of 67.2 (4.9) years and BMI of 31.7 (2.9) kg/m2; 62% were female and 83% White. Participant retention was 92%. The mean (SD) percent CR was 4.5% (11.0) in CR and 6.0% (10.3) in RCR. TRE participants reported eating within an 8.5-hour window a median of 84% of days. Mean change in body mass was -4.4, -6.7, and -1.0 kg in CR, RCR, and TRE, respectively. CR and RCR lost fat and lean soft tissue. Chair stand and 400-m walk times improved in RCR and TRE, and there were improvements in glucose and cholesterol levels in all 3 groups.
conclusionsHALLO-P showed that the CR and TRE interventions were feasible and associated with improvements in health status over 9 months despite not achieving the target CR.
