Comparative and Meta-Analytic Insights into

Life Extension via Dietary Restriction

 

This project is an example how a meta-analysis can be enhanced

using bibliometric information and visualisations (i.e. research weaving).

It is an extension of our published meta-analysis (Nakagawa et al. 2014)

quantitatively examining whether dietary restriction

 extends the lifespan of a wide range of species.
