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 exon 3 deletion polymorphism in the growth hormone receptor gene (d3GHR) is associated with altered GH signaling and longevity-related phenotypes, yet its relationship with blood-based epigenetic aging remains unclear. We analyzed whole-blood DNA from 21 unrelated adults recruited at Laniado Medical Center to determine whether the d3GHR genotype was associated with differential DNA methylation in skin-aging-related genes and altered age acceleration across established DNA methylation clocks. Genome-wide methylation was profiled using the Infinium MethylationEPIC v2.0 array, focusing on 1098 CpG sites linked to wrinkling, pigmentation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. No significant single-CpG methylation differences were detected within the targeted panel. However, two promoter-proximal differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified near
