Moderate Wine Consumption, Defined by the Mediterranean Diet, Is Associated With Delayed Biological Aging in Men From the Moli-sani Study.

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
Objectives: To investigate the association between wine consumption and biological aging in the Moli-sani Study. Methods: Dietary data were assessed using a 188-item FFQ. Participants (n = 22,495) were classified as abstainers, former drinkers, moderate drinkers according to national guidelines (≤250 mL/d men; ≤125 mL/d women) or Mediterranean Diet (MD) (125-500 mL/d men; 62.5-250 mL/d women), and heavy drinkers (>500 mL/d men; >250 mL/d women). Biological age (BA) was estimated with a deep neural network using 36 circulating biomarkers, and Δage (BA-chronological age) served as an index of biological aging. Results: In men, wine consumption, at doses defined moderate by a current MD Score, was associated with slower biological aging (Δage β = -0.39; 95%CI: -0.78, -0.01 vs. abstainers). Dose-response analyses showed a J-shaped curve, with the slowest Δage at ∼170 mL/d (Δage = -0.34 years; 95%CI: -0.66, -0.03). Overall ethanol intake, including all alcoholic beverages consumed, was neutral at moderate levels and associated with faster biological aging at higher doses. Conclusion: Moderate wine consumption, but not overall ethanol intake, may contribute to slower biological aging in men.
