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

Socioenvironmental factors may be associated with patterns of biological age and modify individual vulnerability to trauma- and stress-related psychiatric conditions. We examined whether neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with accelerated epigenetic aging in the early aftermath of trauma. Next, we tested whether individual psychological resources, previously shown to attenuate stress-related accelerated aging, moderated the association between neighborhood disadvantage and epigenetic aging. Participants provided blood samples approximately 2 weeks post-trauma (N = 203; 64% female) and completed sociodemographic and psychometric assessments, including a measure of individual psychological resources (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [CD-RISC]). Epigenetic aging was assessed using the Horvath, Hannum, GrimAge, PhenoAge, and DunedinPACE clocks. Neighborhood disadvantage (national area deprivation index [ADI]) was derived from participants' home addresses. Linear models evaluated the relationship between ADI and epigenetic aging as well as a subsequent CD-RISC x ADI interaction after covarying for chronological age, income, sex, lifetime trauma, lifetime tobacco and alcohol use, PTSD symptoms, and five estimated cell-type proportions. Higher ADI was associated with accelerated aging in GrimAge, PhenoAge, and DunedinPACE models (ps
