1 paper3 findings

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.

Floor Maze Task completion time

1 study

  1. Self-expansion is associated with floor Maze Task completion time in humans (ρ = -0.36).

    “and faster completion of the FMT (ρ = -0.36, p = 0.042).”

Spatial anxiety

1 study

  1. Self-expansion is associated with spatial anxiety in humans (ρ = -0.356).

    “Greater self-expansion in YAs was correlated with lower spatial anxiety (ρ = -0.356, p = 0.042)”

1 study

  1. Self-expansion is associated with virtual Morris Water Maze environment recall in humans.

    “Self-expanders had better recall of the vMWM environment compared to self-conservers (p = 0.049), independent of age.”
