C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

On aging: the drug’s trials ARN judged to be about aging, of every trial that tests it for any use.

No results posted: trials that ended more than a year ago with no results on ClinicalTrials.gov and no paper in ARN’s record.

Company ties: findings with an author at a company, or from a paper whose competing-interests statement declares ties to one.

Living with others lower the risk of frailty in humans (HR = 0.52, 95%CI [0.39, 0.69]).
“Living with others (HR = 0.52, 95%CI [0.39, 0.69]) and participating in voluntary activities (HR = 0.86, 95%CI [0.80, 0.94]) lessened progression from pre-frailty to frailty”
