Why

Review decision

To resubmit, address

1. The manuscript is technically sound and highly bounded, but per calibration rules, the explicit absence of direct clinical evidence and the reliance on adjacent/mechanistic data requires a 'revise' status to signal that broad population-level proof is missing.

Minor issues

• The manuscript explicitly states that direct clinical evidence is 0/28, which triggers a 'revise' calibration regardless of the quality of the synthesis.

Reviewer note

The manuscript is an exemplary piece of rapid evidence synthesis in terms of intellectual honesty and bounding. It avoids the common pitfall of overclaiming by explicitly categorizing its evidence into a 'tiered profile' and admitting that direct clinical evidence for the intervention is non-existent (0/28). The search scope is transparent and auditable, and the limitations section is exceptionally detailed, specifically calling out the lack of longitudinal RCTs and the narrow population landscape (e.g., dominance of insomnia patients). While the synthesis quality is high—integrating disparate findings into a coherent argument about the current state of the geroscience hypothesis—the calibration triage requires a 'revise' recommendation because the manuscript explicitly reports that findings are mixed/null and that direct human clinical evidence is absent. It is a 'competent-but-fixable' paper in the sense that it has correctly identified its own evidentiary void; it is not 'fundamentally flawed' (reject) nor is it ready for 'elite-tier accept' because the underlying evidence base for the specific geroscience claim is not yet proven.
