Accelerated biological aging: the role of chronic inflammation, weathering and novel therapeutic strategies.
Review in Frontiers in aging, 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
Biological aging is a gradual, multisystem process characterized by progressive functional decline, diminished physiological resilience, and increased susceptibility to chronic diseases. Growing evidence suggests that persistent exposure to adverse social environments, chronic psychological stress, and socioeconomic disadvantage can accelerate biological aging by altering age-related biomarkers and stress-response pathways. The weathering hypothesis provides a framework to explain how the cumulative burden of psychosocial adversity becomes biologically embedded, resulting in physiological wear and tear that hastens age-related deterioration over time. A central mechanism underlying this process is chronic low-grade inflammation, which contributes to the pathogenesis of numerous age-related conditions, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). These disorders are highly prevalent among Caribbean Hispanics, a population disproportionately affected by social disadvantages and rapid population aging. Recent advances in the biology of inflammation and cellular senescence have generated interest in therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating fundamental mechanisms of aging. Emerging approaches, including senolytics, anti-inflammatory agents, and non-coding RNA-based interventions, offer promising opportunities for precision medicine; however, RNA-based therapies remain largely experimental, and their clinical translation to address stress-related aging and health disparities has yet to be established. In this review, we examine the interplay between weathering and inflammation in shaping biological aging and discuss the potential of innovative precision medicine approaches to mitigate age-related decline and reduce health disparities in vulnerable populations.
