Review decision

To resubmit, address

1. Reconcile the source count (abstract: 50; bundle: 48) to ensure auditability.
2. In the 'Evidence Landscape' table, consider adding a note that 'no extracted directional signal' reflects automated claim-binding coding rather than null clinical results, to avoid implying null findings where data exist but were not extracted.
3. In the abstract, qualify the claim about perioperative and dialysis settings with a phrase indicating these are acute, short-duration contexts, not chronic aging interventions, to maintain consistency with the bounded conclusion.

Minor issues

• The source bundle contains 48 sources, but the synthesis claims 50 admitted sources; the count discrepancy is minor but should be reconciled.
• The 'Evidence Landscape' table shows most outcome classes have 'no extracted directional signal' or 'unclear signal,' yet the abstract states evidence 'supports melatonin's short-term anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in perioperative and dialysis settings' — this conclusion is plausible given the cited studies but is stated more confidently than the directional coding suggests.
• The abstract mentions 'AI-assisted screening and dual-adjudication,' but the search summary describes AI assistance with retrieval, extraction, and drafting; the level of human verification is not fully specified.

Reviewer note

The manuscript poses a specific and directly answerable research question about melatonin and aging, and maintains a bounded, tiered interpretation throughout. The synthesis integrates outcome classes coherently and explicitly maps evidence strength. Limitations and gaps are material, specific, and actionable. The main concern is source_grounding: the bundle is reference-only (titles + DOIs), making it impossible to verify exact statistics or effect directions, and the directional coding in the Evidence Landscape (mostly 'null' or 'unclear') sits in mild tension with the abstract's claim of support for anti-inflammatory/antioxidant activity in perioperative settings. This does not constitute overclaim but requires clarifying the relationship between automated claim-binding codes and clinical conclusions. Revisions are bounded and editorial.
