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 Intrinsic Capacity, Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR) Task Force convened in March 2025 to discuss geroscience-oriented pre-clinical and clinical trials aimed at promoting healthy aging. Key topics included the use of aging biomarkers in clinical trials, senotherapeutics, metabolism-targeting medications, and therapeutic strategies beyond pharmacological approaches. The discussions highlighted the growing interest in, and accumulating evidence for, geroscience interventions. Several future challenges were identified, including the need for a deeper understanding of the biology of aging and the validation of aging biomarkers against relevant clinical outcomes, such as frailty and intrinsic capacity. Furthermore, to accelerate innovation in the field, there is a need to enhance clinical trial methodologies and harmonization-for example, by defining a minimum common dataset of biological, physiological, and clinical factors for geroscience clinical studies-and to foster a paradigm shift, particularly among regulatory authorities.
