Figure 3. Illustrative. Assessed outcomes plotted on a common standardised axis so that direction and relative magnitude can be compared at a glance. The estimates are not on a common natural scale and the intervals are the Institute's standardised representation of the reported precision, not the published confidence intervals. Published intervals appear in the per-indication extracts and in the text below.

§3.1Biological ageing and healthspan endpoints

Anchor outcome. Epigenetic age acceleration.

Effect as recorded. No human trial identified; —.[1,2]

Certainty. Very low certainty

Contributing trials. None identified. The rating reflects an absence of controlled evidence rather than conflicting evidence.

§3.2Obesity and overweight in adults

Anchor outcome. Percentage change in body weight from baseline.

Effect as recorded. No human trial of any kind identified; —.[2,3]

Certainty. Very low certainty Rodent diet-induced obesity models only. The Institute found no registered clinical trial of this compound.

Contributing trials. None identified. The rating reflects an absence of controlled evidence rather than conflicting evidence.

§3.3Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Anchor outcome. Change in HbA1c (%, mmol/mol).

Effect as recorded. No human trial identified; —.[3,4]

Certainty. Very low certainty

Contributing trials. None identified. The rating reflects an absence of controlled evidence rather than conflicting evidence.
