What it does not prove

  • The abstract does not report sample size, so the statistical power to detect effects is unknown. The abstract does not report any effect sizes or results, preventing assessment of whether the intervention actually produced detectable epigenetic changes. Findings from localized skin application cannot be generalized to systemic aging or whole-body health outcomes.

Extracted from supplied source material; model confidence is not a measured probability of correctness.
